Title: Comparative and International Criminal Justice Systems: Policing, Judiciary, and Corrections
Editor(s): Obi N. I. Ebbe Ph.D.
Date Published: 1996
Annotation: The study of diverse criminal justice systems and their agencies of social control has taken on an essential role in establishing which deterrents and correctional methods are most effective, and this book compares the criminal justice systems of various countries to contrast effective systems with those proven less than adequate.
Abstract: The book has four sections, the first of which deals with the nature of comparative and international criminal justice. The second section treats criminal justice systems in the United States and Europe, while the third and fourth sections cover Africa and Asia. Countries studied include Brazil, China, Denmark, Japan, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In addition to descriptions of various criminal justice systems, chapters cover policing policies and practices, the treatment of offenders, criminal procedures, correctional industries, and community corrections.
