Overview

Comparative Criminal Justice Systems encourages critical thinking by introducing students and policy makers to different ways of organizing the administration of justice in the different parts of the world without ethnocentric assumptions that 'our' ways must be superior to all others.
Comparative Justice: Off the Beaten Path offers a simple definition of comparative justice: the study of the similarities and dissimilarities of diverse systems of social order. It introduces readers to interesting case studies of the families of law and offers engaging contributions in comparative justice as well as fresh perspectives on developing countries.
Comparative Justice: Off the Beaten Path:
  • will identify selections of varied and sometimes overlooked justice systems from around the world.
  • considers some of the varied ways that systems of social order might be viewed.
  • outlines three perspectives when comparing justice systems: the spatial, the temporal, and the legal.
Comparative Justice is divided into seven parts:
  • The Family of Common Law
  • The Napoleonic Civil Law System
  • Germanic Civil Law
  • Islamic Law
  • The Socialist Family of Law
  • Hybrid System
  • Canon Law/Roman Catholic
