Criminal Justice and Policing in the Kingdom of Nepal
Abstract
Nestled in the cradle of the highest mountains on earth, it is not surprising that Nepal has come to be known as the kingdom where deities mingle with mortals. In the Nepalese Himalaya, called the "Abode of the Gods," there is Mount Everest, the world's greatest peak also known as Sagarmatha or "The Brow of the Oceans" by the Nepalese. Local Sherpa artists picture the peak as the god Chomolungma riding a snow lion through clouds of many hues (Anderson, 1985).
