Comparative Criminal Justice Systems

Abstract

T O fully understand global crime, it is necessary to appreciate how the criminal justice systems of various countries operate. The criminal justice systems of some countries are centralized whereas others are highly fragmented. Furthermore, a country’s particular culture has a significant effect on the type and quality of its justice. This comparative analysis of criminal justice systems is important to understanding how different nations define criminal behavior and develop mechanisms for social control. Of particular importance is the emphasis placed on legal and human rights by different types of criminal justice systems.
