Compare the U.S. criminal justice system with the Finnish system. What the major similarities and differences? Which one seems the most efficient at controlling crime and why?
Compare the U.S. criminal justice system with the Finnish system using first a structural-functional perspective, then a conflict perspective.

Explain how each theory applies to both countries.]
Using three sociological concepts (key terms) relating to social structure (Chapter 5), examine why European countries have such lower crime rates compared to the United States.
