Offering a comprehensive analysis, bestselling COMPARATIVE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS, 5e compares the various criminal justice systems throughout the world using six model countries: China, England, France, Germany, Japan, and Saudi Arabia. The book illustrates the different types of law and justice systems while exploring the historical, political, economic, social, and cultural influences on each system. It examines important aspects of each type of justice system--common law, civil law, socialist law, and sacred (Islamic) law--to highlight the similarities and differences of each. Completely up to date, it provides expanded coverage of such high-profile topics as human trafficking, Internet pornography, identity theft, transnational policing, terrorism and more.

    Hello! I am a criminologist and professor in the Wilder School of Government & Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University. I served as Chief of the International Center at the National Institute of Justice. I have traveled widely and have written and edited 19 books. I enjoy teaching, talking about important ideas, and finding links between the great ideas and both the classic and popular literature and movies! My motto is this: life is short, so let's not waste it on trivial pursuits! (although I love soccer, the movies, good coffee, a well-made drink, among other "worthwhile" interests!) See news & updates at Jayalbanese.com. My recent books include: My Search for Meaning: A Professor, His Students, and 10 Great Conversations (McMaster Media Publishing, 2017), Professional Ethics in Criminal Justice: Being Ethical When No One is Looking (Prentice Hall, 4th ed., 2016), Organized Crime from the Mob to Transnational Organized Crime (Routledge, 2015), Transnational Crime and the 21st Century (Oxford University Press, 2011), and Encyclopedia of Criminology & Criminal Justice (Editor-in-chief) 5-volumes (Wiley, 2014).

The book is organized weird so my class skips around a lot. Other than that, the book is fine. Information in this book is the same, however, as the older version so I would say you could definately save your money and get away with getting the CHEAPER VERSION
