David Nelken is the 2013 laureate of the Association for Law and
Society International Prize The increasingly important topic of
comparative criminal justice is examined from an original and
insightful perspective by David Nelken, one of the top scholars in
the field. The author looks at why we should study crime and
criminal justice in a comparative and international context, and
the difficulties we encounter when we do. Drawing on experience of
teaching and research in a variety of countries, the author offers
multiple illustrations of striking differences in the roles of
criminal justice actors and ways of handling crime problems. The
book includes in-depth discussions of such key issues as how we can
learn from other jurisdictions, compare 'like with like', and
balance explanation with understanding - for example, in making
sense of national differences in prison rates. Careful attention is
given to the question of how far globalisation challenges
traditional ways of comparing units. The book also offers a number
of helpful tips on methodology, showing why method and substance
cannot and should not be separated when it comes to understanding
other people's systems of justice. Students and academics in
criminology and criminal justice will find this book an invaluable
resource. Compact Criminology is an exciting series that
invigorates and challenges the international field of criminology.
Books in the series are short, authoritative, innovative
assessments of emerging issues in criminology and criminal justice
- offering critical, accessible introductions to important topics.
They take a global rather than a narrowly national approach.
Eminently readable and first-rate in quality, each book is written
by a leading specialist. Compact Criminology provides a new type of
tool for teaching, learning and research, one that is flexible and
light on its feet. The series addresses fundamental needs in the
growing and increasingly differentiated field of criminology.
