This text addresses a wide range of topics relevant to criminology, criminal justice, and global justice. We use the term global justice to signify the totality of the fields of criminology included in the text, namely, comparative, international, and transnational and global criminologies. Although wide-ranging, the text does not sacrifice breadth for depth: discussion of each topic is characterized by a comprehensive contextualized account of a contemporary global justice issue and a critical approach. Specificity is a fundamental quality of topic discussions, and the analysis of topics and issues is scholarly but accessible, often taking the form of case studies and country profiles.
