Criminal Policy in Transition

Criminal Policy In Transition Comes Along At A Time When The Literature In Criminology Is Desperately Short Of Global Perspectives. It Helps Fill That Gap While It Presents Important New Insights Into Changing Penal Policy And Practice. That It Raises As Many Questions As It Seems To Answer Is One Of Its Great Strengths. The Authors Write Knowledgeably About Their Home Societies Without Being Prematurely Bounded By Comparative Criteria. As A Result,they Develop A Complex And Uneven Image Of Similarities And Differences, Of Divergence And Convergence Through Time. In This Sense The Collection Offers A Model Of How International Collaborative Work Should Proceed.
