The tenth edition of this essential textbook offers a comprehensive understanding of major global criminal justice systems by examining and contrasting the systems of six diverse countries. England, France, Japan, South Africa, Russia, and China are thoroughly explored, with an additional chapter dedicated to Islamic law utilizing three example nations to showcase the range of practices within Sharia. Political, historical, organizational, procedural, and critical issues confronting these justice systems are explained and analyzed in detail. The text is neatly organized with a parallel structure throughout, ensuring a seamless flow of information. Each chapter covers a range of critical topics, including government, police, judiciary, law, corrections, juvenile justice, and more.
A notable addition to this edition is a focus on the nature of the political world order and the significant clash between some democratic and authoritarian governments. Of particular concern are those authoritarian governments that have witnessed the rise of what is commonly known as the strongman leader. The countries covered in this text have experienced the emergence of four such strongmen. While the rise of each occurred in distinct contexts, they were all facilitated in significant ways by the manner in which they asserted control over the country's criminal justice system.
This book is an invaluable resource for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing criminal justice, prelaw, and related programs. Instructors can benefit from supplementary materials such as a test bank and lecture slides to enhance their teaching experience.
