Containing a wealth of archival material and statistical data on
crime and criminal justice, Criminal Justice in Hong Kong presents
a detailed evaluation of Hong Kong's criminal justice system, both
past and present. Exploring the justice system and the perceptions
of popular culture, this book demonstrates how the current criminal
justice system has been influenced and shaped over time by Hong
Kong's historical position between 'East' and 'West'.
Jones and Vagg's examination of the justice system not only
takes into account geographical changes, like the erection of the
border with Communist China in 1950 but also insists that any deep
understanding of the current system requires a dialogue with the
rich and complex narratives of Hong Kong's history.
It explores a range of questions, including:
- How were Hong Kong's criminal justice institutions and
practices formed?
- What has been its experience of law and order?
- How has Hong Kong's status as between 'East' and 'West'
affected its social, political and legal institutions?
Careful and detailed, this analysis of one of the most
economically successful, politically stable and safe yet frequently
misrepresented city, is a valuable addition to the bookshelves of
all undergraduate and postgraduate students studying Asian law.
