Using a conceptual framework, this 2007 book examines the processes
of legal reform in post-socialist countries such as China. Drawing
on Bourdieu's concept of the 'field', the increasingly complex and
contested processes of legal reform are analysed in relation to
police powers. The impact of China's post-1978 legal reforms on
police powers is examined through a detailed analysis of three
administrative detention powers: detention for education of
prostitutes; coercive drug rehabilitation; and re-education through
labour. The debate surrounding the abolition in 1996 of detention
for investigation (also known as shelter and investigation) is also
considered. Despite over 20 years of legal reform, police powers
remain poorly defined by law and subject to minimal legal
constraint. They continue to be seriously and systematically
abused. However, there has been both systematic and occasionally
dramatic reform of these powers. This book considers the processes
which have made these legal changes possible.
