In recent years law, crime and justice have become increasingly politicised in Hong Kong. Understanding Criminal Justice in Hong Kong, 2nd Edition offers a detailed and comprehensive overview of and introduction to the criminal justice system in Hong Kong, building upon recent events and controversies.
This book provides a much-needed overview of the criminal justice system in Hong Kong, including new chapters on criminological research methods, defining crime, fear of crime, the criminal court system, police power and discretion, and plea bargaining. This revised and expanded second edition:
- Outlines the basic concepts of criminal law in Hong Kong,
- Analyses the process of the criminal justice system, ranging from the reporting of a crime through to the correctional system,
- Examines how criminal justice personnel work in practice, and how they deal with the offenders and victims during the criminal justice process,
- Invites readers to consider arguments and debates that surround the controversial issues in the Hong Kong criminal justice system.
This book is a comprehensive resource for students studying this subject as part of a wider course in criminal justice, police studies, law or social work, and for practitioners working in Hong Kong in the police, prisons, probation, voluntary agencies and other criminal justice personnel. Text features include review questions, lists of cases cited, and useful websites.
