Rapid urbanization of economic zones in China has resulted in a
special social phenomenon: "villages-in-the-city." Underdeveloped
villages are absorbed during the expansion of urban areas, while
retaining their rustic characteristics. Due to the rural
characteristics of these areas, social security is much lower
compared with the urbanized city. This book uses Tang Village, a
remote area in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, as an example to
establish a comprehensive analytical framework by integrating
existing crime theories in analyzing villages-in-the-city. The
analysis covers the community, individual, and macro levels to
detail the diverse social and behavioral factors causing crime at
multiple levels. First, a brief history of the urbanization process
of Tang Village is provided to establish how urban planning
contributed to the issues in the village today. The authors go on
to explain how socially disorganized communities dictate the crime
hotspots and the common types of crime. The book examines other
risk factors that may contribute to the level of crime such as weak
social controls, building density, and floating populations of poor
working-class migrants. The routine activities of victims,
offenders, and guardians are examined. The book concludes with the
current trends in the social structure within the
villages-in-the-city and their expected outcome after urbanization.
This book explores China's Belt and Road Initiative and the
criminogenic potential for economic, financial, and socio-cultural
cooperation across countries, where some are known for weak law
enforcement and high levels of corruption. It examines whether
these flows of capital are increasing the amount of organized crime
in the newly linked regions and how law enforcement agencies are
responding. Bringing together experts across the Global South and
Europe, this book considers transnational organized crime and
corruption across One Belt One Road (OBOR). It examines crime and
corruption in China and its international United Front tactic;
analyzes various forms of transnational organized crime such as
trafficking of illegal drugs, looted antiquities, and wildlife and
counterfeit products; and presents studies on corruption and
organized crime in selected OBOR countries including Russia,
Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Poland, and Bangladesh. This
book makes a significant contribution to the development of
southern criminology and will also be of interest to those engaged
with transnational organized crime, political economy,
international relations, and Asian and Chinese studies.
