Probation Round The World: A Comparative Study

The field of international probation has been surprisingly under-investigated by researchers or policy makers. "Probation Across the World" presents the findings of a study conducted by the United Nations Crime and Justice Research Unit. This group investigated the legal and administrative implications for criminal justice concerning reductions in border controls and the freedom of movement in the labor market. Theoretically innovative, the book reviews the disparate literature on comparative probation and reworks data received from the national experts in ten selected case study countries, including the US and Canada, offering a coherent analysis of probation around the world.
