Crime and Justice - Electronic Edition

Since 1979 the Crime and Justice series has presented a review of the latest international research, providing expertise to enhance the work of sociologists, psychologists, criminal lawyers, justice scholars, and political scientists. The series explores a full range of issues concerning crime, its causes, and its cures. In both the review and the thematic volumes, Crime and Justice offers an interdisciplinary approach to address core issues in criminology.

Prosecutors and Politics: A Comparative Perspective (Volume 41) is the latest thematic volume of the Crime and Justice series. This collection of essays is unique in its critical exploration of how prosecutors function in different legal systems, from state to state and across national borders.
