Summary:
"Law and Justice Around the World provides a sociologically-informed but interdisciplinary introduction to legal and justice systems around the world. It takes a broader perspective on the legal system than most other texts--including such topics as governance, elections, family law, and global environmental regulation--rather than limiting coverage to criminal justice matters. Notably, it focuses on a diverse set of national examples, including those from the global south, and covers the United States law and justice system alongside those of other nations"-- Provided by publisher.
