The Politics and Practice of International Criminal Court Interventions.“This timely, perceptive book brings together leading scholars and practitioners to reflect on the field of international criminal justice through focusing on a singular institution: the International Criminal Court (ICC). Drawing on a range of experience, empirical work, and normative theory, it seeks to come to grips with a remarkable development – the creation of a permanent, international court meant to adjudicate mass crimes – through assessing the ICC’s work in practice, given now more than a decade of experience to explore. The ICC is a clear innovation in global governance. A relatively new legal institution, it was intended as an evident departure from past exceptional tribunals associated with particular conflicts. “

The current report is the result of an innovative analysis of national responses to the Sixth United Nations Survey of Crime Trends and Operations of the Criminal Justice Systems (1995-1997). Responses to the Sixth United Nations Survey were received from most of the European region member states. Corresponding data from the United States and Canada were secured through other channels. The analysis has been carried out by an international working group. The group has, in addition to the United Nations Survey responses, had access to large amounts of other data, in particular the data emerging from the International Crime Victim Survey.

”There is a notable asymmetry between the early modern and modern German historiographies of crime and criminal justice. Whereas most early modern studies have focused on the criminals themselves, their socioeconomic situations, and the meanings of crime in a particular urban or rural milieu, late modern studies have tended to focus on penal institutions and the discourses of prison reformers, criminal law reformers, criminologists, and psychiatrists.”
