Sinopsis

Containing a wealth of archival material and statistical data on crime and criminal justice, Criminal Justice in Hong Kong presents a detailed evaluation of Hong KongâÇÖs criminal justice system, both past and present. Exploring the justice system and the perceptions of popular culture, this book demonstrates how the current criminal justice system has been influenced and shaped over time by Hong KongâÇÖs historical position between âÇÖEastâÇÖ and âÇÖWestâÇÖ.Jones and VaggâÇÖs examination of the justice system not only takes into account geographical changes, like the erection of the border with communist China in 1950 but also insists that any deep understanding of the current system requires a dialogue witháthe rich and complex narratives of Hong KongâÇÖs history.It explores a range of questions, including:How were Hong KongâÇÖs criminal justice institutions and practices formed?What has been its experience of law and order?How has Hong KongâÇÖs status as between âÇÖEastâÇÖ and âÇÖWestâÇÖ affected its social, political and legal institutions?Careful and detailed, this analysis of one of the most economically successful, politically stable and safe yet frequently misrepresented cities, is a valuable addition to the bookshelves of all undergraduate and postgraduate students studying Asian law.á
