This textbook explores the landscape of criminal activity in contemporary China and examines the applicability of Western criminological theories to this cultural landscape. It examines the nature and spectrum of crime in China, including public perceptions and government responses within the context of China's shift from a planned to a market economy and the consequences of this transformation for social inequality and criminal activity.
