Description

Explore the complex history of the Chinese legal system with Punishment in Contemporary China: Its Evolution, Development and Change. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Studies in Crime and Justice in Asia and the Global South, this book provides a deep look into how penal practices have shifted over the last seven decades. This academic work tracks the transformation of punishment through three distinct historical periods: the Maoist era (1949-1977), the reform era (1978-2001), and the post-reform era (2002-present). By examining these stages, the text helps readers understand how socio-cultural changes have shaped the legal landscape in China. Designed to address gaps in existing research, this book offers a unique theoretical framework for understanding China's penality. It treats the subject as a separate and complex legal-social phenomenon, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in international law and Asian justice systems.
