ABSTRACTS OF SEVENTY-FIVE BOOKS AND ARTICLES IN ENGLISH ON CRIME AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES SELECTED FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING VALUE IN INTRODUCING AMERICAN SPECIALISTS TO FOREIGN PROBLEMS AND SYSTEMS.
Abstract
THIS BIBLIOGRAPHY PROVIDES SOURCES ON ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD, INCLUDING THE DEVELOPING AND SOCIALIST-BLOC COUNTRIES, BUT FOCUSES ON THOSE COUNTRIES WHICH OFFER THE MOST PROMISING POINTS OF COMPARISON, NOTABLY WESTERN EUROPE AND JAPAN. IT INCLUDES BUT DOES NOT EMPHASIZE SOURCES ON GREAT BRITAIN, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, AND OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE ENGLISH-LANGUAGE CULTURE PREDOMINATES OR ON WHICH A LARGE BODY OF ENGLISH-LANGUAGE MATERIAL EXISTS. THE TOPICS COVERED BY THE SOURCES INCLUDE POLICE, COURTS, CORRECTIONS, AND CRIMINOLOGY. IN MOST OF THE SELECTIONS, EXPERTS ANALYZE FOREIGN CRIME OR CRIMINAL JUSTICE WITH THE EXPLICIT PURPOSE OF EXPLAINING IT TO AN AUDIENCE OUTSIDE THE CULTURE.
