Understanding the basics and the foundation behind Sharia law is not such a difficult task. Accepting it as a reasonable alternative to democracy is a bit more of a stretch for those who have only experienced democratic systems of crime and punishment. Crimes against a religious book are nothing new to Christians and those of any faith. The laws in a modern society of a nation that observes Sharia law seems archaic.

cards. There have been a rising number of infractions concerning the matter; more specifically these are the charges rendered in one of the more recent cases. One felony charge of theft of government property, five years probation, and $170,000 in restitution cost seems a bit steep for a TV wouldn’t one think? A former Department of Veterans Affairs employee recently pled guilty to one count of theft of Government property. The former employee used her Government credit card to purchase…

In my writing paper I give my opinion about what is the underlying historical and economical effects in pursuit of the alternatives to incarcerating offenders in jails and prisons. I will discuss three options of incarceration that are used in juvenile courts today. I will discuss alternatives that are in practice to support my responses.
