All those engaged in the sphere of comparative and international justice will find that this work will save
them much time and labor. As a collection of 29 readings--the majority of which were written (or revised) expressly
for this edition--it compares and evaluates the criminal justice systems of various nations as well as identifies
similarities and dissimilarities in these systems with regard to their structure and operation. The overall thrust
lies in its inherent realization that in the field of crime and criminality and in the dispensation of criminal
justice, the world has become increasingly transnational and global. Geographic and cultural diversity is well
represented in this timely and stimulating volume. Traditional systems of justice are included, as well as some
very nonconventional methods of dispute resolution and punishment. This finely tuned international collection will
enhance a reader's appreciation and understanding of widely diverse approaches to law and control in selected cultural
systems that differ greatly from familiar Western-based attitudes. Fields and Moore's collection provides readers
with valuable twenty-first-century insight into the increasing complexity and interconnectedness of international
criminal justice.
