Summary
With the progress of modernization and globalization, some of the institutional features of modern criminal justice systems are expanding in the countries of the non-West. The progress of modernization, however, is creating many cultural debates and disputes with respect to the definition of crime and criminal law, the rights of criminal offenders, the process of trial and adjudications, the nature of punishment, and transparency and accountability in the delivery of justices. Written for the undergraduate comparative criminal justice course, this text combines theoretical and methodological issues of comparison with historical and cultural analysis of crime and criminal justice in disparate groups of countries and regions.
