A comprehensive comparative text studies the criminal justice systems in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North and South America, specifically covering police, judiciary, and corrections systems. The 12 contributors examine these diverse justice systems, analyzing the cultural contexts of each, and comparing effective systems with those that have proven less adequate. Taking into account differences in customs, tradition, standards, and values, the volume seeks to isolate the philosophies motivating criminal justice in countries with low crime rates.
