This book highlights and examines the level, reach and consequences
of corruption in international criminal justice systems. The book
argues that corruption in and of criminal justice is an
international problem regardless of the jurisdiction and type of
political system - democratic, dictatorship or absolute monarchy.
It argues that state power combined with the privatization of
criminal justice and its policing, custodial institutions and
community rehabilitation services is a vast industry within, and
across, international jurisdictions that are worth substantial
state fund. Criminal Justice and Corruption explains how different
theoretical approaches highlight the problem of preventing
corruption, discusses the problem of measuring criminal justice
corruption, and focuses on individual criminal justice
institutions. For each institution Brooks covers key literature and
discusses the issues that they face, with a conclusion that
reflects on the level and reach of corruption in criminal justice
and whether it can maintain its legitimacy, particularly in
democratic states.
This book uniquely applies theoretical approaches from criminology
and sociology to the problem of corruption. Theoretical thoughts
have future consequences on how we treat, punish and deter and
corruption policy illustrates that theoretical approaches affect
what laws and techniques are implemented. Theoretical approaches,
however, are not developed in a social and political vacuum; they
are a part of the changing social world and understanding why
corruption occurs is a preface to developing strategies to control
and prevent it. Criminology of Corruption analyses corruption on an
international scale and uses numerous case studies to help explain
why individuals, organisations and states are corrupt. The book
charts the development of the most relevant theoretical approaches
and uses them to help explain acts of corruption and prevention. It
will be of great interest to scholars researching these issues
across criminology, sociology and other disciplines.
