This fully updated and expanded new edition of Comparative Criminal Justice takes into account the considerable advances in comparative criminal justice research since the first edition in 2004. Each chapter has been thoroughly updated and a completely new chapter on establishing the rate of crime in a comparative context has been added. Developments in international policing and international criminal justice now require an individual chapter devoted to each; and throughout the book, the role of globalisation, changing both the local and the global in criminal justice arrangements, orientations and discourses, has been given the prominence it deserves.
