Description

This academic study examines the unique crime dynamics in villages-in-the-city, a distinctive social phenomenon created by rapid urbanization in China's economic zones. Using Tang Village in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone as a detailed case study, the book integrates established crime theories to analyse how underdeveloped rural areas retain their rustic characteristics whilst becoming absorbed into expanding urban centres. The research addresses the significant gap in social security that exists in these transitional communities compared to fully urbanised city areas. By combining social and behavioural approaches, the author develops a comprehensive analytical framework that explains crime patterns in these hybrid environments where traditional village structures persist within modern metropolitan boundaries. This work contributes substantially to understanding criminology in the context of China's ongoing urbanisation, offering insights relevant to criminologists, urban planners, policy makers, and academics studying Asian societies and development.

Key Features

Understanding Crime in Villages-in-the-City in China provides a focused case study of Tang Village in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone to illustrate broader patterns.

The book integrates multiple existing crime theories into one comprehensive analytical framework designed specifically for villages-in-the-city contexts.

Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Asian Behavioural Sciences series, offering peer-reviewed academic scholarship on Asian social phenomena.

Addresses the security challenges that arise when rural communities retain their characteristics whilst being absorbed into rapidly expanding urban economic zones.
