Comparative and International Criminal Justice Systems

Designed for courses in comparative criminal justice systems, comparative criminology, and international criminal law, this volume examines the history, dynamics, structure, organization, and processes in the criminal justice systems in the United States, Ireland, Israel, Argentina, Sierra Leone, China, Russia, and Poland. The book compares these criminal justice models with each other and contrasts them with United Nations conventions, World Courts of Justice, the International Court of Justice, the International Military Tribunal, the International Criminal Tribunal, and the International Criminal Court. Understanding these comparisons is crucial for a proper grasp of transnational crimes.
