Description

Punishment in Contemporary China examines the dramatic transformation of China's penal system across seven decades, from the Maoist era (1949-1977) through the reform period (1978-2001) and into the post-reform era (2002-). This Routledge academic work develops a distinctive theoretical framework for understanding China's penality as a separate and complex legal-social system shaped by socio-cultural changes across different historical periods. The book fills a significant gap in existing research by offering a comprehensive analysis of how punishment has evolved within China's unique historical and political context. It provides scholars, students and professionals in law, criminology and Asian studies with essential insights into the development of contemporary Chinese criminal justice policy and practice.

Key Features

Covers three distinct historical periods of Chinese punishment evolution: Maoist, reform and post-reform eras spanning 1949 to the present day.

Develops a distinctive theoretical framework for analysing China's penality as a separate legal-social system distinct from Western models.

Published by Routledge within the Studies in Crime and Justice in Asia and the Global South series for academic credibility.

Addresses the gap in existing research on Chinese criminal justice by exploring punishment transformation within socio-cultural contexts.
