Summary
 
  Summary

In this anthology, prominent resident scholars present overviews of the adult corrections systems of Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, India, Iran, Japan, Namibia, Romania and the U.S. These national profiles provide a rare comparative and international perspective on corrections trends, issues and problems.


Each chapter provides a historical synopsis of the country's corrections system, an overview of problems confronting corrections today, a survey of future prospects, and an analysis of the corrections system's conformity to international agreements and guidelines. Current issues highlighted in each chapter include: prison overcrowding, lack of alternatives to incarceration, victims' rights and restorative justice, prison privatization, protection of offenders' human rights, and the special needs of women inmates, drug addicts and other offender groups. Augmenting the national profiles are the editor's introduction and glossary.
