Through a systematic evaluation of the existing courts and their effects in the real world on states, victims, and offenders, and their impact on the development of the law related to their jurisdictions, both on the international and national level, the authors hope that lessons can be drawn for a more promising future delivery of criminal justice by international and domestic judicial bodies.

"After five decades of punitive expansion, the entire U.S. criminal justice system (mass incarceration, the War on Drugs, police practices, the treatment of juveniles and the mentally ill, glaring racial disparity, the death penalty and more) faces challenging questions. What exactly is criminal justice? How much of it is a system of law and how much is a collection of situational social practices? What roles do the Constitution and the Supreme Court play? How do race and gender shape outcomes? How does change happen, and what changes or adaptations should be pursued? The New Criminal Justice Thinking addresses the challenges of this historic moment by asking essential theoretical and practical questions about how the criminal system operates. In this thorough and thoughtful volume, scholars from across the disciplines of legal theory, sociology, criminology, critical race theory, and organizational theory offer crucial insights into how the criminal system works in both theory and practice. By engaging both classic issues and new understandings, this volume offers a comprehensive framework for thinking about the modern justice system"--Publisher's website.

Indonesian state based on Pancasila, any rule of law (criminal) and their enforcement should always contains/is inspired by the values of Pancasila. The policy of enforcing criminal law means upholding justice, and the justice for the Indonesian people is equity based on Pancasila. The direction and policies for the development of national law (criminal law) in realizing the ideals of legal development based on justice should always be based on religious values, customs and socio-cultural values of Indonesian society which crystallized in the Pancasila philosophy. Therefore, the essence of criminal law policy is that efforts to achieve social welfare should always be inspired by and based on the basic values of the Pancasila philosophy as Grundnorm / Staatsfundamentalnorm (fundamental norms of the state) of the Indonesian nation. Pancasila is the values, principles, soul and spirit of the Indonesian people. Pancasila is the basic norm (grundnorm), and at the same time the basic values (grundwerten), which are the spirit of Indonesian law. Law is always rooted in "a peculiar form of social life", therefore a legal system is a uniqueness, an institution rooted in the cosmology, values and traditions of the nation concerned.

"This book is designed to provide the reader with an overview of American criminal justice from the perspective of regulatory law enforcement. Government's responsibility to defend the life and property of its citizens from victimization is accomplished through a code of criminal law enforced by a criminal justice system. In addition to laws that protect citizens, the government also enacts laws that criminalize certain behaviors that are deemed to be inconsistent with the best interests of society. These are called regulatory laws, and their effect on the criminal justice system and society are the main focus of the book. Each of the book's three sections addresses one aspect of the overall problem. The first looks at the underlying motivations to enact regulatory laws, particularly those dealing with drugs, prostitution and firearms and the evolution of their enforcement over time. The effect of regulatory law enforcement on each part of the criminal justice system, the police, courts and corrections is examined in the second section of the book. The final section provides insight into the societal outcomes associated with the enforcement of regulatory laws"--
