Conclusion

From the Paper:

"In procedures of the inquisitorial systems are more secretive in which the community or neighborhood is the focus of the courts and there are various alternative and non-conventional solutions established in the court. It is somewhat easy to distinguish the correctional systems of the world by whether the system supports corporal punishment or whether they do not. Countries that are 'civilized' do not have the death penalty yet they do regularly apply corporal punishments including whipping and beating of the guilty. Additionally these systems are characterized as being less "correctional overcrowding"."
