"This book is a dynamic and well-established textbook from a giant contributor to the comparative criminal justice research and education field."Max Lowenstein, Bournemouth University"I find a country-based case study approach to be very helpful in teaching my Comparative Legal Systems course. There is really no other book on the market that offers this kind of approach" Donald C. Williams, Western New England University"I have used all the editions (1–9) of this book. I was first attracted to it by the introduction (which is unlike any other comparative CJ book), and the detailed discussion of each of the selected countries."Joseph Appiahene-Gyamfi, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley
