With nearly 20 percent of the world's population located in China,
what happens there is significant to all nations. Sweeping changes
have altered the cultural landscape of China, and as opportunities
for wealth have grown in recent years, so have opportunities for
crime. Police Reform in China provides a rare and insightful
glimpse of policing in the midst of such change. The book begins
with a historical account of police reform in the region since
2000. Next, it discusses the difficulties encountered in trying to
understand Chinese policing, such as outdated perceptions,
misinformation, cultural ignorance, ideological hegemony, and
problems with paternalistic attitudes. The book recommends studying
China from a local perspective informed by local research and data,
suggesting that understanding China requires a cultural shift to
the Chinese way of life in "thinking" and, more importantly,
"feeling." The author then summarizes selected policy papers from
Gongan Yanjiu, a leading international policy journal. He first
documents how the thinking and aspirations of various generations
of Chinese leaders from Mao to Deng, and now Jiang and Hu, came to
affect Chinese policing in theory and practice. He then addresses
the emergence of a police legitimacy crisis as evidenced by the
deterioration of public image and rebellions against police
authority. Demonstrating how old ideologies are increasingly in
conflict with the values and lifestyles of a new mentality, the
book discusses steps that can be taken to improve professionalism.
The final chapters investigate such problems as abuses of
discretion and the improper use of firearms and highlight the
importance of understanding the Chinese people, culture, values,
and interests in order to truly effectuate successful police
reform.
