2CRIMINAL JUSTICEAssess the impact of globalization on the U.S. criminal justice system.. Globalization has brought positive changes to the U.S criminal justice system, consequently,law enforcement agencies can now be able to get information on any individual within a very short time(Albanese, 2013). Before the emergence of interlink of countries and globalization,law enforcement agencies would have taken a very long time to get the criminal history of an individual since all this information would have been in another country’s database. This means that criminals find it more difficult to escape or hide the crimes they are running from. Even U.S citizens who try to flee the country do so on borrowed time as the U.S law enforcement agencies like the F.B.I connect with law enforcement agencies from other countries to apprehend the suspect(Ebbe, 2013).Criminals and major crimes are a big challenge to the criminal justice systems all over the world because it takes away so much effort, resources and time from other things. Countries with a criminal justice system that is not so much developed must focus and direct their resources to more pressing issues that are at hand. This is a perfect chance for lower level criminals to get away with serious crimes. Thus, these countries may require help from countries with more established criminal justice system such as the U.S. By doing so, it takes away resources that should have been used domestically ( from their homeland agencies) thatconsequently leaves criminals with a wider avenue to perpetrate crime. This is a domino effect that occurs due to globalization and criminal justice system being globalized(Gaines &Kappeler, n.d.).Compare and contrast international criminal justice systems (Civil Law, Common law, and Islamic Law and Socialist Law traditions).

In many Islamic countries, this law means a source of primary law, but its application is not the same for all, since it does not represent a formal rule, ie that its application will be subject to the interpretation given in Every Muslim state.This law, in addition to defining the moral foundations of the Arab community, also serves asa guide in many aspects of ordinary Muslim life such as politics, finance, economics, social affairs, etc.The Quran, the Sunna, the sayings and deeds of Muhammad (hadith), are some of the texts where you can find these principles or standards, which have been issued by recognized and selected sources in different collections. In each and every one of them is referred, of all those people considered honorable and worthy of Faith, who spread every one of the said andrevealed facts(Merino, 2013).Socialist Law traditions- This is also known as soviet law, it was developed after seizure of power in 1917 by the communist in Russia.
