Arguably, more than any of the other model countries, Saudi Arabia is in need of updating. The political and criminal justice changes that have occurred since 2013 are nothing short of monumental. Before starting this assignment go back to Chapter 3 and familiarize yourself with Islamic law (p. 57 - 61).
Go back to Chapter 4 and 5 and read the sections on Saudi Arabia (p. 90 - 94 and 112 - 114). Your assignment is to create a short section titled Addendum. The first two sentences should be: “Since the publication of Comparative Criminal Justice Systems in 2013 a number of significant political and criminal justice developments have occurred in Saudi Arabia. The following section highlights some of these developments.” Instead think of something short and concise (similar to the textbook). I recommend you conduct chronological research on Saudi Arabia by year. Some of the topics you should address include the rise of Mohammed bin Salman, changes in law enforcement (specifically the role of the Mutawa, or religious police), the conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and legal changes that have occurred since the publication of the textbook. Finally, address the Saudi Arabian response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
With the exception of the Foreign Affairs article linked below, you have complete freedom to choose your sources. However, your sources should be legitimate news sources, should reflect events that occurred since 2013, and should be properly cited in the narrative in APA (same as textbook) and properly referenced at the end of your narrative. There should be a minimum of eight (8) sources (including the assigned Foreign Affairs article).
