Law, crime, and justice are among the most salient issues in any
country. This is especially true for a transitional nation like
Russia that is facing tremendous social, political, and economic
changes, many of which create conditions conducive to crime. These
ongoing changes have had profound effects on every major social
institution in the country, and the transition from totalitarianism
and a command economy toward rule of law and a free market is
resulting in shifts in fundamental cultural values. In this
environment, governmental agencies are often left without a clear
mission, especially given their sometimes dubious roles during the
Soviet era, and are rarely provided with the resources necessary to
fulfill the difficult duties that are so vital to a functional
democracy. This volume, with chapters by highly respected scholars
in several disciplines, provides a comprehensive sourcebook of
scholarly analysis of the effects of these changes on legal
developments and rule of law in Russia, its changing patterns and
nature of crime, and its criminal justice system. Contributions by:
