Vol.2:Overview Countries M-Z; Appendixes+Index  a"These books covers 198 countries in 2 volumes. In the intervening years between the first and second editions the world has changed dramatically, and so have law enforcement and corrections. When the first edition was published the Soviet Union had pulled down its iron curtain across half the world, permitting little information to leak into the free world. Those changes are reflected in the second edition and the scope of the work. The first part of the encyclopedia critical global themes that affect all nations and that cannot be properly treated in national chapters." 0aPolice - Encyclopedias 0aCorrections - Encyclopedias
