CRJ 5140 Survey of International Justice Systems

This course will survey various justice systems throughout the world. It will focus on a wide variety of countries: India, Brazil, China, Nigeria, Russia, United States, and others. Each country's system will be explored and evaluated. Specific issues regarding each country will be addressed. For example, the Russian Federation, as a new democracy, is dealing with many problems, especially but not exclusively, corruption. These issues will be closely examined country by country. Additionally, the interconnections between countries and the handling of transnational crime will be addressed.
