Title: Poor editing
Product review: This collection of articles should have been excellent. However, it seems obvious its editors were not up to the task. Some articles are excellent (e.gr., Law and order in contemporary Japan, Ch. 6; Juvenile Delinquency in the Cross-Cultural Context, Ch.31), others are hardly worth the paper on which they are printed (e.gr., Low crime rates in Bahrain, Ch. 2; Organized crime in South Korea). It seems the editors should have been more demanding instead of, apparently, simply accepting uncritically was was submitted to them.In addition, there are several factual mistakes that were not corrected. For instance,the Seventh United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention was held in 1985, not 1983 (pag. 17). And the Ninth Congress was held in Cairo, not in Tunis.This is nsot the exception, but rather the rule. So, the book is marred by poor editing. Too bad, because the material contained therein is of great importance.
