The paper is for my Comparative Criminal Justice class, and the assigned country is El Salvador.
1- The paper should be written using Arial or Times New Roman, and 12-point font.
2-Your paper should be 4-5 pages in length (main body), 6-7 pages total with cover page and bibliography. Your in-text citations should be properly inserted and corroborate the references listed in your bibliography.
3- Look at the grading rubric; Is the country you’re reporting on a developed or developing nation? Did its criminal justice system evolve out of the Common or Civil law family? What is/was its organizational make-up and leadership? What is the political and historical background of your assigned country? The paper should be much more than a “blow-by-blow” account of a particular country?s history and should reflect critical thinking. This is referred as the Pivotal Aspect requirement in the grading rubric.
4- Grading rubric is as follows:
-Content and context structured around courts, police, or corrections of assigned country.
-Legal history/traditions correctly classified.
-Legal system guiding police and courts explained.
– How that system compares to the United States illustrated.
– What is the Pivotal Aspect of that country?s criminal justice system, and political/historical/cultural background as it relates to police and law?
– Logical flow of information, proper grammar and spelling, APA format including section headers, introduction, conclusion, etc.
