Cross-national studies and finding relevant information can be quite challenging. Group members have to familiarize themselves with the country and different terminologies used to describe the same concept. Furthermore, available information regarding a country’s law and the criminal justice system in English can be limited. The following list is a good place to start. This list is neither comprehensive nor sufficient for this assignment. CIA World Factbook: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/index.html
BJS World Factbook of Criminal Justice Systems http://bjs.ojp.usdoj.gov/content/pub/html/wfcj.cfm
Library of Congress Country Studies: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/cshome.html
United Nations Crime and Justice Information Network: http://www.uncjin.org/
Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index: http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi Freedom House: http://www.freedomhouse.org/regions 6
Find Law (searches legal topics in a particular country): http://www.findlaw.com/12international/countries/
Each of the countries that you have selected will be listed in the three key English sources: The CIA World Factbook, The BJS World Factbook of Criminal Justice System, and the Library of Congress Country Studies. This will be a great start for your exploration.
What you will submit is A research paper. Your research paper should be 5 pages (double spaced, Times New Roman 12 font) long and should include at least 6 academic sources (articles, books, book chapters, research reports) for full-point consideration. In addition to academic sources, you are free to use other sources (such as websites) as well, but they will not be counted towards the minimum number of academic sources. The page count does not include the cover page or the reference page. Please use the latest APA style for references.
