Social Consequences of Thievery in Saudi Arabia Verses the United States
Number of pages:
8
ABSTRACT:
An 8 page discussion of the differences which exist in punishment and the incidence of criminal acts in Saudi Arabia and the United States. While an emphasis is put on theft, other criminal acts such as murder, adultery, and apostasy (the conversion of a Muslim to Christianity) are also considered. The author of this paper contends that the differences which exist in these countries’ crime rates relates to societal expectations as well as to the degree of punishment which can be expected. The point is made that while punishment in Saudi Arabia may seem harsh and reprehensible from a western perspective, it is certainly effective in reducing the country’s crime rate. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
