What is comparative criminology and what can it tell us about crime worldwide?
What will be an ideal response?
Comparative criminology is the cross-national study of crime. Comparing crime patters around the world allows theories and policies that are taken for granted in one location to be reevaluated in the light of world experience. Comparative criminologists focus on developing theories with increased specificity that can be applied across more than one culture or nation-state. Comparative criminology results in a globalization of knowledge, an increase in understanding that results from a sharing of information among cultures.
