Comparing and contrasting the prison systems of 15 nations, this volume addresses the crisis and change in penology which has occurred during the 1980s and 1990s. The contributors identify both common and unusual problems which face penal systems throughout the world, and compare a variety of these systems by employing sociological analysis. Analyses of the penal systems in industrial, non-industrial, stable and unstable nations are undertaken here, and possible prospects for social and penal reform around the globe are discussed.

Industry Reviews

"Weiss and South have put together a book that should become a criminological classic. In my 25 years as a criminologist I have never seen anything like this! A must read for all concerned about the future of the world." -Randall G. Shelden of University of Nevada-Las Vegas
