Comparative Perspectives on Criminal Justice in China is highly
recommended. The editors have assembled the leading Western and
Chinese scholars in the field to examine the administration of
criminal justice in China, showing both how far the system has come
and the challenges that lie ahead. This is an important and timely
book. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand or
has to deal with the Chinese criminal justice system.' - Klaus
Muhlhahn, Freie Universitat Berlin, Germany'This highly informative
and engaging volume on the Chinese criminal justice system today
provides a window into the vagaries of law and its operation in the
People's Republic. McConville and Pils bring together an impressive
array of scholars whose studies span the criminal process. From
initial police investigation, through to prosecution and sentencing
of defendants, we see how dominant values in the Chinese state and
its structures of power make the practice of criminal justice today
still intensely political.' - Susan Trevaskes, Griffith University,
Australia Comparative Perspectives on Criminal Justice in China is
an anthology of chapters on the contemporary criminal justice
system in mainland China, bringing together the work of recognised
scholars from China and around the world. The book addresses issues
at various stages of the criminal justice process (investigation
and prosecution of crime and criminal trial) as well as problems
pertaining to criminal defence and to parallel systems of
punishment. All of the contributions discuss the criminal justice
system in the context of China's legal reforms. Several of the
contributions urge the conclusion that the criminal process and
related processes remain marred by overwhelming powers of the
police and Party-State, and a chapter discussing China's 2012
revision of its Criminal Procedure Law argues that the revision is
unlikely to bring significant improvement. This diverse comparative
study will appeal to academics in Chinese law, society and
politics, members of the human rights NGO and diplomatic
communities as well as legal professionals interested in China.
