Chinese policing

Advance Reviews “This book by K.C. Wong is a case study, a unique as well as ambitious one … Even though this book is a case study, the book facilitates comparison of China with other countries through the implicit lens of contemporary Western criminology.…Wong’s study is thorough with respect to the cultural and historical development of Chinese policing. It covers the current state of knowledge about the Chinese police, its role, origins, history, cultural roots, and contemporary attempts at reform. …Altogether, Chinese Policing: History and Reform is a major contribution to the field of comparative criminology as well as a unique analysis of the connections between Chinese culture and contemporary policing”. Distinguished Professor David Bayley, School of Criminal Justice, State University of New York - Albany “The fifth installment in Lang’s series, Chinese Policing is a formidable piece of cutting-edge scholarship that pushes the boundaries of police science as well as the disciplines of comparative criminology and criminal justice...This book is not a mere translation of Chinese government documents. Rather, Wong analyzes Western myopia when it comes to policing in the PRC. He emphasizes both overlooked and nontraditional factors involved the decisions made by police officers and agencies in the PRC in the process of fulfilling their obligations. I’m sure that scholars, instructors, practitioners, and students in policing and law enforcement will be intrigued by Wong’s book.” Jeffrey Ian Ross, Ph.D., University of Baltimore, USA "This book provides an important contribution to our understanding of historical and contemporary Chinese policing. Of particular interest is the author̓ s theory of ̔Police Power as A Social Resource̓ which, drawing upon Chinese theory and practice, challenges us to think beyond the conventional ̔Anglo-American̓ (police-led) models of community policing which have dominated so much contemporary debate". Prof Les Johnston, University of Portsmouth, UK This detailed study of the history and evolution of policing in China lays the basis for comparative research, sheds light on the challenges and prospects of maintaining law and order in such a huge and rapidly developing country as China, and provides policy-makers important insights for a much needed, more effective, reform agenda.
