Contemporary Issues in Crime, Criminal Justice and Criminology in Greater China: Editors’ Introduction (original) (raw)

Our editors’ introduction has three parts. First, a short history of the development of the Association of Chinese Criminology and Criminal justice in the United States (ACCCJ), which fills a formal gap, since there is no current published historical backdrop to the institutional development of the Association. Second, a necessarily brief analysis of the development of criminology in Chinese societies over the last decade (2010–2020). Finally, a contextualisation of the papers selected for this special issue of the journal.
