Winterdyk, John Albert. (Added Author). Cao, Liqun. (Added Author).

Summary: "This book is an anthology of 14 esteemed scholars who have made significant contributions to criminology, criminal justice, and international law within a comparative and international context." "In this collection of "stories," the authors share of themselves in ways we seldom learn about in textbooks. By inviting us into their lives, we find out about the pitfalls, opportunities, and gut-wrenching decisions they faced during their careers." "Students in particular will find the stories inspirational and insightful. This text provides us with practical, real life examples of how following one's passion can genuinely impact crime prevention, criminal justice, and social ills around the world."--BOOK JACKET.
