“Criminal Policy in Transaction is a fine anthology. Contributing authors provide intersting profiles of criminal justice policy in several countries, speak to issues and themes that are important for our understanding of both crime and criminal punishment, and remind all legal scholars that law and its administration have to be studied in context, both in historical and more gerneral socio-economic terms. Moreover, the authors clearly illustrate the benefit of more international and comparative scrutiny of criminal justice policy and administration.” – Susette M. Talarico,
