New Crime in China - Public Order and Human Rights

Informationen zum Autor Ronald Keith, Zhiqiu Lin Klappentext This book examines new crimes, or crimes which are newly of great concern, in China, and assesses the balance, or rather the imbalance, between public order and human rights in the way the law deals with them. These new crimes include 'evil cults', domestic violence, sexual harassment, internet fraud, website pornography, and organised crime in the sex and drugs trades and human trafficking. The topic is of particular importance, both because current social upheaval in China, which is likely to continue, contributes a great deal to the increase of new crimes, and because there is increasing international interest in the law following China's accession to the World Trade Organisation. Zusammenfassung Examining crimes which are of great concern in China, New Crime in China assesses the imbalance between public order and human rights in the way the Chinese legal system deals with them.
