Criminal Policy in Transition comes along at a time when the
literature in criminology is desperately short of "global"
perspectives. It helps fill that gap while it presents important
new insights into changing penal policy and practice. That it
raises as many questions as it seems to answer is one of its great
strengths. The authors write knowledgeably about their home
societies without being prematurely bounded by comparative
criteria. As a result,they develop a complex and uneven image of
similarities and differences, of divergence and convergence through
time. In this sense the collection offers a model of how
international collaborative work should proceed. The book is the
product of a workshop held at the International Institute for the
Sociology of Law (IISL) in Onati, Spain. The IISL is a partnership
between the Research Committee on the Sociology of Law and the
Basque Government
