The Police in Hong Kong is the first comprehensive study of the
Hong Kong Police Force, one of the largest police organizations in
the world. Through detailed examinations of police practices and
their value orientations, Professor Jiao aims to develop knowledge
about policing in Hong Kong and related social, political, and
cultural conditions in which the police operate. This work includes
descriptions and analyses of: - the historical background of the
Hong Kong Police - management of the 1997 handover of power from
Britain to China - organizational structure and operation of the
police force - changes and reforms of the police over the years -
impact of the Bill of Rights - street police vs. management police
behaviors - crime, organized crime, and vice problems - control of
corruption and misconduct With an emphasis on empirical evidence,
Professor Jiao relies heavily on his interviews with over 200
officers and on-site observations of a variety of police activities
for the form and content of this study. As such, this work fills a
void in criminal justice and police studies as well as Asian
studies.
