It shows why the Scandinavian criminal justice systems are as they are, how they are different fom those in other countries, and how they are changing. Topics range from the history of violence through juvenile delinquency, juvenile justice, and sentencing to controversial contemporary policies on prostitution, victims, and organized crime. Compared to most developed countries, especially the United States, Scandinavian criminal justice systems are, and have long been humane. Punishments are moderate, prisons are small and orderly, and few people are locked up. As elsewhere in Europe, however, Scandinavian countries face social and political challenges. Populations are becoming more diverse, the region has been affected by the global recession, and conservative political parties have gained increased influence and are beginnning to politicize crime policy debates. Scandinavian approaches to to crime and punishment offer important lessons to scholars, citizens, and policy makers in other coutnries. Their present may be our future. More ominously if they sucuumb to the xenophobic and popuilist political pressures that exist everywhere, ours may be theirs. 0aCrimezScandinavia.9820752Local 0aOrganized crimezScandinavia.91455582Local 0aPunishmentzScandinavia.91556562Local 0aJuvenile delinquencyzScandinavia.91187762Local 0aCriminal justice, Administration ofzScandinavia.2Local98213500aTonry, Michael H.91803132Local1 aLappi-Seppälä, Tapio.92444622Local 0aCrime and justice (Chicago, Ill.)vv. 40. c226160d226160 00102lc406HV_7018_000000000000000__5__C755_2011708cil992565a7b7c4d2016-05-27eChicago Dist.
