Crime and Justice, Volume 36
Crime, Punishment, and Politics in a Comparative Perspective
The goal of Crime and Justice, Volume 36 is to advance the understanding of the determinants of penal policies in developed countries. The contributors explore the distinctive national differences in policy responses to rising crime rates, rapid social change, economic dislocation and increased ethnic diversity. Countries covered include Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia, Canada, Japan, France, Norway and the United States.
“Crime, Punishment and Politics provides exactly the kind of data that American policy experts need most and rarely, if ever, encounter. The material in this book is of critical importance not only to those who wish to appreciate the range of crime policies in the developed world, but also for those who hope to understand the meaning and distinctiveness of recent U.S. experience. Comparative study is an indispensable tool for the modern scholar, and this volume provides exactly the introduction we all require.”—Franklin E. Zimring, Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley
