The volume presents an extensive investigation into the process of
reforms of detention powers in today's China and offers an in-depth
analysis of the debates surrounding the reformist attempts. The
chapters in this collection demonstrate that legislative and
institutional reforms in this area result from political
opportunities - openings and tensions at the central institutional
levels of political authority - and contingent social and political
factors. The book examines legal and institutional reforms to
institutions of detention and imprisonment that have occurred since
the 1990s, with a particular focus on the 21st century. Its content
follows three particular lines of enquiry concerning the issue of
deprivation of liberty in contemporary China. The first deals with
the academic and theoretical debates on the subject of imprisonment
and detention. The related chapters explain the difficulties
encountered in this area of research and understandings of the
discourses of reform through labour in Western and Chinese
scholarship. The second deals with the specific issues of criminal
and administrative forms of deprivation of liberty, examining in
particular the institutional and legislative dimensions,
considering the relationship between reforms and criminal justice
policy agendas. The third assesses the meaning of institutional
reforms in the context of the changing state-society relationship
in contemporary China.
