Choose any one of the following countries: England, Russia, or South Korea.
Create a 6- to 7-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that describes the process of a criminal trial in the country you have chosen. Include responses to the following questions:
Is their system adversarial or inquisitorial? Explain.
What are the names of the major courtroom players? For instance, what is the prosecutor called? How many judges hear a case? What role they play?
Who determines guilt or innocence? Explain.
Is the defendant required to prove his innocence, or does the government have the burden of proof?
Are there any defendants’ rights that we expect in the United States but are not protected in the country you chose? For instance, will the government provide an attorney if the defendant can’t afford one?
What is the path of appeals that is available to a defendant (if any)? Explain.
Are there any aspects of the court system you reviewed that would benefit the US system? Explain with appropriate reasoning.
Add additional content in the Notes section of the presentation.
Support your responses with examples.
Cite any sources in APA format.

For this discussion, you will need to complete the textbook readings, the Marion video, and the Obama article for this module.
Within every society, there is a distribution of power. Not everyone has power or influence over policy decisions at the macro or micro level.
In this discussion, we will discuss the spectrum of societal needs and what needs are addressed by policy and what needs are not. We will also discuss the reasons behind this reality.
Policy itself can be a scarce resource with many competing for policy that addresses their specific needs. Whether policy is created is often determined by the power possessed by those who support the policy.
For this discussion, focus on the question of who has the power when it comes to policy, and how and why that influences what policy is created or not created.
Examine what constitutes the power for those who seem to get their needs addressed and expand on why some consistently have their needs addressed and others do not. After a careful review of the textbook readings for this module, in your initial post:

1. Identify a societal need that seems to regularly be addressed by policy and identify the power base (e.g., a political or demographic group) that ensures this.
2. Identify a societal need that seems to consistently go unaddressed and explain the lack of a power base that you believe allows this to happen.

In responding to your classmates’ posts, suggest solutions so that those whose needs are not currently addressed may be addressed in the future. Provide citations from the textbook readings as well as your classmates’ posts in your responses.
To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric PDF document.

Each quiz will cover the Reading & Study material for the assigned modules/weeks. Each quiz will be open-book/open-notes, contain 25 multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and essay questions and have a 1-hour time limit.

We are now in what some people call the Crime Control Era. Over the past several years, on average, arrests have gone up, prison populations have increased and crime has gone down. This doesn’t hold perfectly year to year but over an average of a few years it does. Does this mean that mass incarceration is the answer to crime control? Research this topic and provide statistics and analysis to show a clear picture of what is actually happening.
Write a 2 page APA style paper. In your paper include 2-3 references.  Only one reference may be found on the internet.
