This book critically investigates Nordic criminal justice as a
global role model. Not taking this role for granted, the chapters
of the book analyze how Nordic approaches to criminal justice were
folded into global contexts, and how patterns of promotion were
built around perceptions that these approaches also had a
particular value for other criminal justice systems. Specific
actors, both internal and external to the region itself, have
branded Nordic criminal justice as a form of 'penal exceptionalism'
associated with human rights, universalistic welfare, and social
cohesion. The book shows how building and using the brand of Nordic
criminal justice allowed stakeholders to champion specific forms of
crime control across a variety of criminal justice areas in both
domestic and international settings. The book will be of interest
to scholars and students of criminal justice, international law and
justice, Nordic and Scandinavian studies, and more widely to the
social sciences and humanities.
Global Perspectives in Policing and Law Enforcement provides an
exposition of policing and law enforcement practices, challenges,
and opportunities in twenty different countries that were carefully
selected to represent diverse geographic regions of the world. Each
chapter presents policing from a different cultural background with
diverse historical law enforcement experiences, varied social and
demographic characteristics, and wide-ranging approaches to
political leadership. By examining critical data and highlighting
cracks within law enforcement across multiple countries, the
contributors to this volume have created a framework of policing as
it transitions into a modern outfit. Divided into parts, the book
focuses on a large sample of countries from Africa, Europe, Asia,
and Latin and Central America, North America and the Caribbean, as
well as Australia and New Zealand. Such a broad coverage makes this
book a critical reference point for those interested in criminal
justice, criminology, political science, anthropology, and many
others.
