The United States, however is harsher in her treatment of criminals. She has more prisons and more are being built all the time. The United States has the death penalty, with the state of Texas being the leader in executions. Sweden does not.

The incarceration rates are much lower in Sweden than those in the United States.' Paper contains an example of an outline. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
