Download or read book Delinquent Youth in a Transforming China written by Wan-Ning Bao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores two major social problems facing Chinese society today: increased strain in the lives of young people and heightened rates of crime and delinquency, ultimately examining the links between them. More broadly, it draws on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and Agnew’s general strain theory to examine the factors and processes affecting young people, leading to life strain and delinquency. It represents the first study of this kind and involves the most systematic and comprehensive literature review of studies on major social, economic, political and cultural changes, as well as youth crime in contemporary China. Bao’s arguments are supported by empirical evidence including data findings and over a decade’s worth of observational research. Shedding new light on the nature of youth crime in a rapidly changing society, this methodical study will benefit policy makers and researchers, helping them to develop tactics and methods to reduce strain in the lives of young people, and thus effectively prevent delinquency in China.

Download or read book Crime and Social Control in a Changing China written by Jianhong Liu and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-08-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important edited collection of articles by both Chinese and American scholars attempts to promote a more accurate and in-depth understanding of crime and social control in China, as it undergoes significant cultural, economic, and social change. The editors contend that as the economic system has been transformed, many other social institutions in China have also experienced unprecedented changes, including legal institutions and other organizations responsible for social control. The essays focus on crime in China and summarize the major structural changes in Chinese society and their effects on crime and justice over the last ten to fifteen years, offer an overview of Chinese perspectives on crime, examine socio-economic changes and their impact on social control, and discuss changes in adults' and children's courts and the new changes in Chinese policing in Chinese society. Organized into four parts, this work addresses the nature, extent and special features of crime and delinquency in China under conditions of social change. It also investigates the question of the social correlation of changing patterns of crime. The impact of social transition on the changes in the grassroots level of social control is also discussed. Chinese law and criminal justice, with particular focus on the courts, police, and crime prevention are mentioned as well. This unique collection of essays is a timely and significant contribution to the fields of comparative criminology, social control, Chinese studies, and legal studies.

In the effort to clarify the growing problem of juvenile delinquency in China, investigating the etiology of this phenomenon from criminological theories is imperative. Unfortunately, most juvenile delinquency studies have been carried out in Western countries; theoretical-grounded research on Chinese adolescents'delinquent conduct is rarely explored but is much needed. The study made a pioneering effort to explore the mechanism of criminal situations-how social bonds and low self-control interacting with considerations of perceived costs affect juveniles' delinquent behavior-in a rarely examined Chinese sample of adolescents. Methods: Data were collected using a cross-sectional survey design. Two different groups of Chinese adolescents were examined, with one group of 780 incarcerated offenders with delinquent records and the other group of 1,264 school students. Overall, participants ranged from age 14 to 18 (M=15.87, SD=1.02). Most participants were from village and town (58.5% and 31.8%), held rural Hukou (70.6%), and had a high school education (54.1%). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to examine the measurement structure as well as interrelationships between social bonds, low self-control, perceived costs and delinquency. Group differences between offenders and students were further tested. Results: SEM results showed social bonds, low self-control and perceived costs significantly predicted delinquency. The result indicates that individuals are less likely to perform delinquent acts when they have strong bonds to conventional society, a high level of self-control and increased perceived costs of delinquency (e.g., formal sanctions, parental disapproval, peer disrespect). Instead of merely having a direct effect, perceived costs mediated the relationship between low self-control and delinquency in both offenders and students. Perceived costs mediated the relationship between social bonds and delinquency only in students but not in offenders. This result indicates that adolescents who have a high level of perceived cost can partiality reduce negative influence of weakened social bonds and lessened self-control, which in turn decreases the likelihood of delinquent engagement. Furthermore, significant group differences between offenders and students were observed. Offenders generally exhibited weaker social bonds, lower levels of self-control, fewer perceived costs and higher level of delinquent participation compared to their student counterparts. Based on multi-group SEMs, low self-control proved to be a stronger predictor of delinquency in offenders than in students. Discussion: Social bonds, self-control and perceived costs are influential factors in understanding juvenile delinquency in the Chinese context that is undergoing rapid social and cultural change. The individual, social and situational factors should be considered in making crime prevention policies. Situational crime prevention can be implemented to increase youths' awareness of the risks of being caught. Moreover, preventative youth services can be more effective if more attention is paid to strengthening adolescents' social bonds, developing their self-control and raising their risk perceptions, so that their propensity to delinquent participation may be potentially prevented or reduced

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world’s second largest economy, China has made great progress in developing criminology. The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Criminology aims to be a key reference point to summarize the large body of literature in both Chinese and English about various aspects of crime and its control in China for international scholars with an interest in the development of criminological research on and in the Greater China region, and for everyone with a broad interest in international criminology. The editors of the handbook have selected authoritative contributors recognized for their research and scholarship on China, Hong Kong Macao, and Taiwan. This handbook consists of five sections: An account of the development of criminology as an academic discipline in modern China, as well as some of the unique theories, strategies, or philosophies of crime control that have emerged, An analysis of the criminal justice system in China, including the police, the courts, corrections, juvenile justice and the death penalty, An exploration of the issues and problems in conducting research in China, Reflections on the nature of crime and criminality in China, including drugs, prostitution, human trafficking, corruption, floating population, domestic violence, and white-collar crime, An account of crime and criminal justice in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao. The book presents a coherent and comprehensive collection of essays on current research and theory in criminology, crime and justice in China and Greater China, and the Editors’ Introduction and Conclusion provide further contextualisation of the Handbook’s key themes.

Download or read book Responding to Youth Crime in Hong Kong written by Michael Adorjan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A society’s response to youth crime reveals much about its broader cultural values, social circumstances, and political affairs. This book examines reactions and policy responses to youth delinquency and crime in Hong Kong during its colonial and post-colonial periods, and in doing so, underscores the history of Hong Kong itself and its present-day circumstances. Exploring how officials have responded to youth crime in Hong Kong over time, this book tracks the emergence of a penal elitist mode of governance, highlighting concerns not only about young people’s behavior but the need for officials to establish state authority and promote citizen identification. In turn, it reveals an alternative to the ‘usual story’ about youth crime found in many western regions and provides an opportunity to begin to develop a comparative criminology. The book examines the emergence of the ‘disciplinary welfare’ tariff during the 1970s, debates and policy changes related to the minimum age of criminal responsibility and youth sex crimes, and inaction regarding the introduction of restorative justice initiatives in the post-colonial era. It also addresses the power of ‘Post-80s’ youth to protest and challenge government policies, which directly combat contemporary fears regarding the ‘mainlandization’ of Hong Kong. Drawing on archival sources, official reports and interviews with key stakeholders in the juvenile justice system, Responding to Youth Crime in Hong Kong will appeal to students and scholars interested in Chinese society, criminology, social work, sociology and youth studies.
