'Comparative Criminal Justice and Globalization imaginatively juxtaposes work by leading contemporary scholars of two usually separate subjects. Editor David Nelken's incisive, nuanced opening and closing essays provide analytical and conceptual frameworks that will shape understanding, and future research and writing, for years to come.' Michael Tonry, University of Minnesota, USA 'Globalization represents the next horizon for comparative studies of crime and justice, posing new theoretical and practical challenges but also opening up exciting opportunities for methodological innovation, policy interventions and disciplinary renewal. The contributors to this volume, all household names in the field, explore the implications of globalization for criminality, policing, criminal process and penality, and in so doing help us to understand contemporary social realities and glimpse criminology’s possible futures.' Paul Roberts, University of Nottingham, UK and University of New South Wales, Australia 'This book [...] demonstrates that comparative and global criminology can not only add cohesion and urgency to criminology as a whole, but it can also serve as a bridge to other related disciplines.'
