This is an essential book for anyone studying the contemporary Hong Kong criminal justice system. The book's introductory chapter is an especially concise and helpful guide that directs the reader through the stages comprising Hong Kong's criminal justice system. The remaining chapters cover the expected topics of criminal law, crime statistics, police, courts, and corrections; but also provide fascinating information on the ancillary topics of specialized enforcement, legal assistance, court interpreters, and social welfare programs for criminal offenders. In addition to its use in comparative criminal justice courses interested in focusing on a unique justice system, the book is a necessary addition to libraries where patrons are interested in Hong Kong society and culture generally and its crime and justice more specifically. -- Philip Reichel, Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Northern Colorado
