Global Criminology and Criminal Justice

"As the editors rightly stress, a comparative approach to the understanding of crime and justice cannot properly capture the full complexity of globalization at the dawn of the twenty-first century. We need a global criminology now!" - Piers Beirne, University of Maine

Ancestral Lines

"The Maisin of Papua New Guinea come alive in these pages, and the core question of how they have come to want to preserve their rainforest is one that will capture the imagination of students. A triumph of ethnographic writing." - Joel Robbins, University of California, San Diego

North America

"This exquisitely written history of a complex but unstudied continent should be required reading for all residents of the emerging region of North America." - Robert A. Pastor, Professor and Director of the Center for North American Studies, American University

Judging Democracy

"This is an important, concise, and well-written book that provides readers with bold insights into the converging patterns of jurisprudence in the field of election law in Canada and the United States. A significant original contribution." - Cynthia Ostberg, University of the Pacific
