A descriptive and quantitative analysis of criminal justice processes, this ebook goes beyond a mere analysis of individual systems. Instead, the book compares these criminal justice models with each other and compares them with:

• World Courts of Justice
• United Nations conventions
• International Criminal Court
• International Court of Justice
• International Military Tribunal
• International Criminal Tribunal

Understanding these comparisons is important for a proper grasp of transnational crimes. The ebook shows how the national criminal justice systems and the UN judicial systems complement each other when adjudicating transnational crimes in the international community. It evaluates the nature of crime and criminal law, studies basic theories of crime, and discusses several sources of international law. It also scans the inherent pitfalls in comparing international crime rates and discusses terrorism and its control. Unique to this edition is a comprehensive, unbiased study of the Islamic justice system.

Each chapter in Comparative and International Criminal Justice Systems 3rd edition emphasizes a select region and includes crime data and arrest, prosecution, and conviction rates where appropriate. This enables readers looking for information on the criminal justice systems of any part of the world to easily find the related section. A sound approach to understanding the laws of several nations, and criminal, international, and humanitarian laws, this volume offers sage insight into the sociological explanations of criminal law and crime.
