Common Law V Sharia Law

Abstract

In this years Political Science Oklahoma Research Day, I shall be constructing my poster and presentation over the commonalities and differences among the common law and sharia laws in different countries. I will be discussing the pros and cons of both laws in an attempt to determine which of the laws, if not a combination of both, have the best effect on stopping or deterring criminal offenses. I will further discuss the use of different heights of punishments when it comes to a capital offense or even a simple criminal offense. In the use of different laws, we will notice a change in degree of criminality over different offenses and how the government handles the predicatment of a situation and that its what I am going to do my research over.
