This book explores the theoretical and empirical dimensions of
community crime prevention in China, examining in particular the
role of social capital in a rapidly modernizing economic, social
and political context. In doing so it provides a vivid picture of
contemporary crime and crime control in China as well as analyzing
the very particular Chinese approach to community crime prevention,
looking at such social institutions as the household registration
system, the neighbourhood committee, the work unit and the public
security bureau. The particular focus of this book is on BLSCC
Building Little Safe and Civilized Communities in the city of
Shenshen which has been undergoing rapid change. The book looks at
two contrasting communities within the city, looking at their
different characteristics and the differing ways in which social
capital operates in relation to crime and crime prevention. As well
as shedding light on the hitherto largely hidden subject of crime
prevention in China this book also makes an important contribution
to wider debates about social capital and its potential, an
invaluable study based on unique research.
