Routledge - The Making of Chinese Criminal Law Book

Explore the evolution of legal frameworks in East Asia with this scholarly work from Routledge. The Making of Chinese Criminal Law examines the shift toward preventive criminalization and its impact on society. By analyzing the Eighth Amendment of 2011, this book provides a deep look at how changes to penalties regarding road, drug, and environmental safety influence legal trends. This text investigates how the expansion of criminal law meets public punitive demands and creates expectations for legislative participation. It also addresses the lack of effective constraints on these legal expansions and the potential long-term effects on individual freedoms. This is an essential resource for students, legal professionals, and researchers interested in the Rule of Law in China and comparative legal perspectives.
