The political, economic and social transformations that have taken
place in China over the last half-century have had a major impact
upon the formal methods, institutions and mechanisms used to deal
with alleged criminal infractions. This path-breaking book, based
upon the largest and most systematic empirical inquiry ever
undertaken in China, analyzes the extent to which changes to the
formal legal structure have resulted in changes to the law in
practice. With unprecedented access to prosecution case files,
observation of live trials and interviews with judges, prosecutors
and defence lawyers, the book paints a uniquely detailed picture of
China's criminal justice system as it operates in everyday cases.
Among the major themes explored are: bail; detention; torture;
confessions; the role of police, prosecutors and judges; the work
of defence lawyers; pre-trial and trial practice; and sentencing
practices, including the death penalty. The book shows, through
volumes of quantitative data and the voices of judges, prosecutors
and defence lawyers, how the party-state continues to influence and
control both the process and outcome of criminal trials through an
elaborate system of audit and sanction, the result of which is a
system of aggregate rather than individual justice. With a wealth
of original empirical data, this book will be of significant
interest to academics and postgraduate students in the general area
of Chinese Studies, human rights, criminal justice and comparative
criminal justice. Policy makers, politicians and development
agencies will also find it invaluable. With contributions from:
Satnam Choongh, Pinky Choy Dick Wan, Eric Chui Wing Hong, Ian
Dobinson and Carol Jones
