Punishment in contemporary China has experienced dramatic shifts
over the last seven decades or so. This book focuses on the
evolution, development and change of punishment in the Maoist
(1949-1977), reform (1978-2001) and post-reform eras (2002-) of
China to understand the shaping and transformation of punishment
within the context of a range of socio-cultural changes across
different historical periods. It aims to fill the gap of existing
research by developing a distinctive theoretical framework for the
China's penality, exploring it as a separate and complex
legal-social system to observe the impact social foundations,
political-economic genesis, cultural significance and meanings have
exerted on penal form, discourse and force in contemporary China.
It sheds light on the sociology of punishment in this socialist
Party-state by investigating law reform, penal policy, social
control, crime prevention and sentencing as interconnected elements
in the criminal justice and penal system. This book will be of
great interest to those who study Chinese criminal law, penal and
policing system, as well as to law academics, criminologists and
sociologists whose research interests lie in the fields of
comparative criminology and criminal justice.
