Comparative Criminal Justice

Zusammenfassung

As the world becomes increasingly globalized, a shared understanding and appreciation of the various aspects and approaches of criminal justice becomes imperative. Examining nineteen countries, purposefully selected to ensure not only broad geographic distribution but also cultural and religious diversity, political differentiation, and historical experiences, this book is a go to reference for comparative criminal justice studies, human rights studies, victimology, gender studies, anthropology, and political science. Divided into five parts, this book includes chapters on Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Eurasia, the Middle East, and the western hemisphere. Although each chapter represents a different country, all chapters have similar thematic sections providing summaries of the wide array of policing practices, exploring the different types of criminal procedure used across the world, and recognizing the many methods that different societies use to sanction criminal behavior among their citizens.
