Comparing Criminal Procedures through Film is a unique and innovative look at criminal justice systems all over the world. Author Samuel W. Bettwy expertly introduces complex legal concepts to his readers through the use of over 400 different film clips in order to give his readers an in-depth understanding of the actions being taken in these clips, and why they matter from a legal perspective. Comparing Criminal Procedures through Film is designed to be used for a law school course but may also be used for undergraduate or post-graduate course work in the area of comparative criminal justice. Throughout the book, tools of comparative legal analysis are taught and then applied as the reader examines the adjudicative process through the lens of film. The legal traditions of each country are explored through the film clips to give the reader a better understanding of how legal procedures are handled in that country.
