As the world becomes increasingly globalized, a shared understanding and appreciation of the various aspects and approaches of criminal justice becomes imperative. Examining nineteen countries, purposefully selected to ensure not only broad geographic distribution but also cultural and religious diversity, political differentiation, and historical experiences, this book is a go to reference for comparative criminal justice studies, human rights studies, victimology, gender studies, anthropology, and political science. Divided into five parts, this book includes chapters on Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Eurasia, the Middle East, and the western hemisphere. Although each chapter represents a different country, all chapters have similar thematic sections providing summaries of the wide array of policing practices, exploring the different types of criminal procedure used across the world, and recognizing the many methods that different societies use to sanction criminal behavior among their citizens.

Comparative Criminal Justice: International Trends and Practices is a must read. This is an excellent book on comparative criminal justice studies across the globe. The utility of comparative criminal justice knowledge is incontestable and allows for new developments to improve the criminal justice system in different countries. This book, edited by Jospeter Mbuba, not only adds to the literature but broadens the field.
Eric Lambert, Indiana University Northwest
In Comparative Criminal Justice: International Trends and Practices, Dr. Jospeter Mbuba has assembled an impressive group of scholars from across the globe to offer perspectives on the criminal justice systems of nineteen countries. With the countries drawn from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, North America, Western Europe, The Middle East, and The Pacific, this is one of the most comprehensive comparative studies one can ever come across. The volume is a must read for criminal justice policymakers and practitioners and should prove an invaluable resource for those interested in understanding how differences in geographical, historical, and cultural spaces impact the nuances of law enforcement, judicial processes, and penal systems.
