This study provides a critical examination of seminal issues within the main areas of criminal justice: its theoretical framework, domestic and comparative criminal justice, transnational and international criminal law.

Exploring some of the most interesting challenges arising in these fields, it examines the impact of ‘public morality’ on sentencing policy, murder and the mandatory life sentence, genocide and the notion of magnitude and incitement to terrorism. Taking an approach that is fully integrated in contemporary criminal justice scholarship, it offers a diverse and expert perspective. With a comprehensive introduction and conclusion drawing the various strands together, it offers a rigorous, coherent overview of the key issues in play in contemporary international criminal justice. This diversity and expertise ensures its appeal to a large audience of students, scholars and practitioners of criminal justice around the world.

Reviews for Contemporary Challenges to Criminal Justice: Liber Amicorum for Ralph Henham

The most topical, complex and challenging issues of contemporary criminal justice are dealt with in a single volume! The fil rouge that binds them, the source of inspiration for each contribution, is the scientific activity of a great scholar, to whom we all must be grateful for his unparalleled contribution to criminal science. * Professor Grazia Mannozzi, Director of the Study Centre on Restorative Justice and Mediation (CesSGReM) University of Insubria (Como, Italy) * A beautiful and rich collection of essays on some of the most salient challenges in transnational and international criminal justice today, fully worthy of Ralph Henham’s inspirational life and work. * Professor Jan Wouters, Jean Monnet Chair ad personam; Director, Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies – Institute for International Law (Leuven, Belgium) * This significant collection brings together experts from different legal systems and disciplines in conversation about the challenges and aspirations of criminal justice. It is essential reading for those committed to situating criminal law in its comparative context, both nationally and internationally. The quality and breadth of its contributions make this collection a fitting tribute to the influential scholarship of Ralph Henham. * Professor Sarah Williams, UNSW Sydney & Australian Human Rights Institute *
