As the world's second-largest economy, China has made great
progress in developing criminology. The Routledge Handbook of
Chinese Criminology aims to be a key reference point to summarize
the large body of literature in both Chinese and English about
various aspects of crime and its control in China for international
scholars with an interest in the development of criminological
research on and in the Greater China region, and for everyone with
a broad interest in international criminology. The editors of the
Handbook have selected authoritative contributors recognized for
their research and scholarship on China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and
Macao. This Handbook consists of five sections: an account of the
development of criminology as an academic discipline in modern
China, as well as some of the unique theories, strategies, or
philosophies of crime control that have emerged; an analysis of the
criminal justice system in China, including the police, the courts,
corrections, juvenile justice, and the death penalty; an
exploration of the issues and problems in conducting research in
China; reflections on the nature of crime and criminality in China,
including drugs, prostitution, human trafficking, corruption,
floating population, domestic violence, and white-collar crime; and
an account of crime and criminal justice in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and
Macao. The book presents a coherent and comprehensive collection of
essays on current research and theory in criminology, crime, and
justice in China and Greater China, and the Editors' Introduction
and Conclusion provide further contextualization of the Handbook's
key themes.

The Handbook of Asian Criminology aims to be a key reference for
international scholars with an interest in the broad theme of
international criminology in general, and the Asian region in
particular. Contextualization is a key theme in this book. The role
of context is often underemphasized in international criminology,
so the Handbook of Asian Criminology's premise that crime and the
responses to it are best understood as deeply embedded in the
cultural specificity of the environment which produces them will
play a key role throughout the work. Attention will be given to
country- and region specific attitudes towards crime and
punishment.
