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 police in Taiwan played a critical role in the largely peaceful
transition from an authoritarian regime to a democracy. While the
temptation to intervene in domestic politics was great, the
top-down pressure to maintain a neutral standing facilitated an
orderly regime change. This is the first monograph to examine the
role of the police as a linkage between the state and civil society
during the democratic transition and the role of the police in
contemporary Taiwan. Starting with a brief history of Taiwan, this
book examines the development of policing in Taiwan from a
comparative, environmental, historical, operational, philosophical
and political perspective; considers the role of the police in the
democratic transition; and draws comparisons between police
cultures in the East and in the West - both now and in the past.
Taiwan operates as a modern country within an East Asian culture
and this book shows that Taiwan's move towards democracy may have
political ramifications for the rest of the nations in the area.
Including references to literature on policing in China and the
U.S, this book about Taiwan police may serve as a springboard for
academics and students to learn about similar cultures in this
important area of the world. Policing in Taiwan will be of interest
to academics and students who are engaged in the study of
criminology, criminal justice, policing studies and Asian studies,
as well as the general reader.

This book discusses the issues surrounding race, ethnicity, and
immigrant status in U.S. policing, with a special focus on
immigrant groups' perceptions of the police and factors that shape
their attitudes toward the police. It focuses on the perceptions of
three rapidly growing yet understudied ethnic groups -
Hispanic/Latino, Chinese, and Arab Americans. Discussion of their
perceptions of and experience with the police revolves around
several central themes, including theoretical frameworks,
historical developments, contemporary perceptions, and emerging
challenges. This book appeals to those interested in or researching
policing, race relations, and immigration in society, and to
domestic and foreign government officials who carry law enforcement
responsibilities and deal with citizens and immigrants in
particular.
