The World Factbook of
Criminal Justice Systems


Abstract | Contents


Abstract

This factbook, developed under a BJS grant, provides narrative descriptions of the criminal justice systems of countries around the world. These 42 country descriptions are written to a common template so that comparisons of similar functions in different countries can be easily made. They were completed in mid-1993, although the most recent data available for inclusion were sometimes for a year or two earlier.

Opportunity has been provided for, and BJS welcomes, your comments, just e-mail to askbjs@ojp.usdoj.gov
