Great book and Professor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book covers almost everything you need to know about justice systems around the world. It is full of facts and examples from several different countries ranging from courts, corrections and policing. Dr. Reichel is also my professor for Comparative Justice and I can tell you I have learned a lot between his book and personal teachings.
An International Perspective on Foreign Legal Systems
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
"Comparative Criminal Justice Systems: a Topical Approach" is a study of a few foreign legal systems with a political approach and an "international perspective". According to the author, Phil L. Reichel, the goal of his book is to extend the reader's knowledge about other countries, their citizens and their cultures but most important to find ways to improve society; not only at a local but at a global level as well.In this book, Reichel talks about interesting facts about crime and crime rate around the world. For example, crime statistics may not be accurate due to lack of means to report them-small villages away from the city; same legal system encourages law officials not to make reports, political reason. Reichel also talks about substantive law and procedural law in the four legal traditions. Learning an international perspective on foreign legal systems is also undoubtedly excellent to better understand and to improve the American Justice System. Although the last chapter of this book was so disappointing to me, I still recommend it.
