Description
This is the first comprehensive bibliography that deals with comparative criminology and other signficant works in the field dating from the 1960s.
The guide covers 500 studies on crime, law, and social control in two or more cultures.
The volume is organized into three main sections: meaning and measurement in criminology, cross-national crime rates, and social control and penal policies.
The work is intended for students, for scholars and professionals, and for all researchers concerned with criminal justice studies around the world. The bibliography includes a preface, eleven chapters on topics of major importance, appendices, and author and subject indexes.
The chapters deal with general issues in comparative criminology, cross-national data, perceptions of crime, violent crime, crimes against property, economic and political crime, transnational corporate crime, correlates of crime, underdevelopment and modernization, social control and dispute resolution, and criminal justice and penal policies.
The appendices point to useful sources for further research.
In addition, a full author and subject index is provided.
