Reviews

`Contemporary criminal procedure may be seen as a global garden in which myriad blossoms, with names like lay judges , anticipatory bail and confession bargaining have sprung out of a grafting of old adversarial-inquisitorial roots. In this impressive volume, contributors from England, India, Italy, Taiwan and the United States examine many facets of these new hybridities. Cross-pollination among national and supranational systems, differences and similarities at various stages of the criminal process, and even efforts to avoid that process altogether, are explored. The result is a comparative analysis that enriches understanding of global criminal procedure.' -- Diane Marie Amann, University of Georgia, School of Law, US `This enlightening book assembles cutting-edge work from the finest scholars of comparative criminal procedure around the world. It marks a real advance in our knowledge and poses policy challenges that every country in the world will have to face.' -- James Q. Whitman, Yale University, US
