It seems
unlikely that any single page can keep track of
appropriate links for all countries of the world.
Below is a very good attempt, I think, but you
should also check the following sites:
-
Crime & Society: A Comparative Criminology Tour of the World
Provides information on crime and the justice system in most
countries of the world.
-
Internet Resource Links for Comparative Criminology
Comprehensive listing of web sites with information linked to crime
and the justice system in countries around the world.
-
Encyclopedia of the
Nations Detailed nation profiles are categorized by continent
and alphabetically arranged and consist of information about each
country such as the population, history, ethnic groups, culture,
language, transportation, government structure, and judicial
system.
-
European Police and Judicial Systems Interpol provides general
information about the police and judicial systems of individual
countries in the European region.
-

to 1999 in eight countries: Australia, Canada, England, the
Netherlands, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States.

information about legal aid in countries around the world.

World
Intelligence and Security Agencies. Click on a country and find
links to the country's agencies.

current information on politics.

of Congress. For many areas of the world, such as China, Russia, and
Latin America, the Library's collections are the finest and most
comprehensive research collections outside the country of origin.

narrative descriptions of the criminal justice systems of countries
around the world. These 42 country descriptions are written to a
common template so that comparisons of similar functions in
different countries can be easily made. They were completed in
mid-1993, although the most recent data available for inclusion were
sometimes for a year or two earlier.
