This book explores the complexities of crime and legal reform in China, highlighting the tensions between public order and human rights within the legal system.

In New Crime in China, the authors delve into the pressing issue of crime in contemporary China, focusing on the delicate balance between public order and human rights. The book highlights how the Chinese legal system grapples with various crimes that have emerged as significant concerns in recent years. Through a detailed analysis, it becomes evident that the rise in criminal activity is not just a matter of law enforcement but also reflects broader social upheavals and transformations within the country.

The authors provide a comprehensive examination of the legal responses to these crimes, emphasizing the challenges faced by the legal system in maintaining order while respecting individual rights. As China continues to evolve, the relationship between state authority and personal freedoms becomes increasingly complex, making this an essential topic for understanding contemporary Chinese society. The book also considers the implications of China's integration into the global economy, particularly following its accession to the World Trade Organization, and how this has influenced domestic legal reforms.

Ultimately, New Crime in China offers an insightful exploration of a society in transition, painting a vivid picture of the tensions between law, order, and the rights of individuals. It serves as a crucial resource for anyone interested in the intersections of crime, law, and human rights in one of the world's most dynamic nations.
