Despite a resurgence in the number of studies of Chinese social
control over the past decade or so, no sustained work in English
has detailed the recent developments in policy and practice against
serious crime, despite international recognition that Chinese
policing of serious crime is relatively severe and that more people
are executed for crime in China each year than in the rest of the
world combined. In this book the author skilfully explores the
politics, practice, procedures, and public perceptions of policing
serious crime in China, focusing on one particular criminal justice
practice - anti-crime campaigns - in the period of transition from
planned to market economy from the 1980s to the first years of the
twenty-first century. Susan Trevaskes analyzes the elements that
led to the Hard Strike becoming the preferred method of attacking
the growing problem of serious crime in China before going on to
examine the factors surrounding the failure of the Hard Strike as a
way of addressing the main problems of serious crime in China
today, that is drug trafficking and organized crime . Drawing on a
rich variety of Chinese sources Serious Crime in China is an
original and informed read for scholars of China, criminologists
generally and the international human rights community.
