In China, the central government has the political will to control
organized crime, which is seen as a national security threat. The
crux of the problem is how to control local governments that have
demonstrated lax enforcement without sufficient regulation from the
provincial governments. The development of prostitution,
underground gambling and narcotics production has become so serious
that the central government has to rely on anti-crime campaigns to
combat these "three evils". This book explores the specific role of
government institutions and agencies, notably the police, in
controlling organised and cross-border crime in Greater China.
Drawing heavily on original empirical data, it compares the both
the states of the People's Republic of China and Taiwan, as well as
city-states Hong Kong and Macao. This region has become
increasingly economically integrated, and human interactions have
been enhanced through improved trade relations, tourism, and
increased individual freedom. The book argues that the regime
capacity of crime control across Greater China has been expanded
through regional and international police cooperation as well as
anti-crime campaigns. It suggests that a strong central state in
China is necessary to rein in the local states and to prevent the
risk of deteriorating into a political-criminal nexus. Focusing on
regime capacity in crime control, regime autonomy from crime
groups, and regime legitimacy in the fight against organized crime,
this thought-provoking book will be of great interest to students
and scholars of Chinese politics and criminology more broadly.
