By all accounts, China is the world leader in the number of legal
executions. Its long historical use of capital punishment and its
major political and economic changes over time are social facts
that make China an ideal context for a case study of the death
penalty in law and practice. This book examines the death penalty
within the changing socio-political context of China. The authors'
treatment of China's death penalty is legal, historical, and
comparative. In particular, they examine;
- the substantive and procedures laws surrounding capital
punishment in different historical periods
- the purposes and functions of capital punishment in China in
various dynasties
- changes in the method of imposition and relative prevalence of
capital punishment over time
- the socio-demographic profile of the executed and their crimes
over the last two decades and comparative practices in other
countries.
Their analyses of the death penalty in contemporary China focus
on both its theory - how it should be done in law - and actual
practice - based on available secondary reports/sources.
