Building Justice in Post-Transition Europe?: Processes of Criminalisation within Central and Eastern European Societies (Routledge Frontiers of Criminal Justice) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

After the collapse of the Berlin wall in 1989 and disintegration of the Soviet Union, scholars focused on the problems of legal transitions within the newly emerging democracies. Two decades on, these states are in 'post-transition' conditions; having undergone and continuing to experience political, economic and constitutional upheavals to varying degrees. Criminal law and processes of criminalisation and decriminalisation are at the heart of these changes, and must be understood in the light of the social transitions. A major influence is the old 'West' - a relationship that has often been more maleficent than it may appear. This book provides an interdisciplinary perspective on this largely unexamined topic.
