World criminal justice systems : a survey

From the publisher. Not international justice systems, but the national systems of seven selected countries are what Terrill (Georgia State U.) describes in order to introduce US students to the variety of approaches to dealing with crime. For each he discusses the political, historical, organizational, procedural, and critical issues confronting the country's judicial system in a standard format to facilitate comparison. Chapters 1-6 follow the pattern: government, police, judiciary, law, corrections, and juvenile justice
