A COLLECTION OF RECENT SCHOLARLY CONTRIBUTIONS ON THE SUBJECT OF COMPARATIVE CRIMINAL LAW BY ACADEMICIANS FROM THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
Abstract
PAPERS ARE ORGANIZED UNDER FOUR MAIN AREAS OF CONCERN TO THE STUDY OF COMPARATIVE CRIMINAL LAW. THE ROLE, AND SOMETIMES CONFLICT, OF VALUES WITHIN AND ABOVE THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM ARE CONSIDERED. CURRENT ISSUES OF CODIFICATION AND REFORM ARE EXAMINED. PROBLEMS RELATING TO DISPOSITION OF VIOLENT OFFENDERS ARE REVIEWED, AS WELL AS DEALING WITH DEVIANCE WHICH DOES NOT OCCUR WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
