New Crime in China: Public order and human rights

Abstract

This book examines the crimes that have recently been of the greatest concern in China and assesses the imbalance between public order and human rights and the way that the legal system has attempted to deal with this imbalance. These new crimes relate to the formation of cults, the intentional spread of infectious disease, domestic violence, internet fraud and dissent, terrorism and "organized crime" in the human smuggling and the sex and drug trades.
