This book critically assesses a wide range of topics associated with comparative, international, transnational, and global criminologies. Esteemed authors Cynthia L. Banks and James Baker uniquely address the complexity of these global issues using a scholarly, but accessible approach, often taking the form of case studies and country profiles. This approach challenges students not only to gain knowledge of international and comparative criminal justice issues, but to also think about them in a critical manner. Contemporary and highly relevant topics such as global trends in policing, security, and convergences in criminal justice, the penal policy, war crimes, and human rights protection keep students engaged and spark classroom discussion, giving them a fuller appreciation of global justice issues. Issues discussed are put into social and cultural context to help students understand how practices have developed within a society, how they are interpreted locally, and how they are culturally conceived.
