This book examines the conciliatory institutions that operate within criminal law in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan. Despite having the same legal traditions, the two countries have taken very different political and social roads over the past century. Taking these important factors into account, the book compares the conciliatory mechanisms that have emerged in the two countries, particularly focusing on the influence of Confucian tradition in current criminal reconciliation practices. By drawing upon in-depth interviews with multiple experts in the area, the role of tradition in the discipline of modern Xingshi Hejie is explored, alongside an analysis of the reasons that lead victims and offenders to choose this conciliatory procedure. The book offers a fascinating account of this feature of criminal justice in China and Taiwan, and will be of particular interest to scholars interested in comparative approaches to criminology and criminal justice.

This book explains Japan’s unique Prosecution Review Commission (PRC) which is composed of eleven lay people selected randomly from voter registration lists. Each of the country’s 165 PRCs reviews non-charge decisions made by professional prosecutors and determines which cases should be reinvestigated or charged. PRCs also provide prosecutors with general proposals and recommendations for improving their policies and practices. The book analyzes the history and operations of the PRC and uses statistics and case studies to examine its various impacts, from legitimation and shadow effects to kickbacks and mandatory prosecution.More broadly, this book explores a problem that is common in many criminal justice systems: how to hold prosecutors accountable for their non-charge decisions. It discusses the potential these panels have for improving the quality of criminal justice in Japan and other countries, and it will appeal to scholars and students studying prosecution and democracy, criminal justice, criminology, lay participation, justice reform, and Japanese studies.

The book explores the concept of counter-narratives to terrorism within the context of Pakistan’s unique socio-political, cultural, and historical experiences. It provides actionable insights to combat extremism, focusing on the role of ideology, socio-economic reforms, and community engagement in reducing radicalization.As a frontline state in the global War on Terror, Pakistan deals with the rise of terrorist groups such as the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and their shocking use of suicide terrorism. Despite military achievements, enduring peace remains elusive due to ideological and social origins of extremism. This book addresses the pressing necessity for counter-narratives—intellectual, cultural, and strategic outlines to challenge extremist ideologies and promote peace within and beyond the borders.

This book investigates the experiences of women inmates in Alipore Women’s Correctional Home and Dum Dum Central Correctional Home in West Bengal, India. It explores their socio-economic background, the major factors that led to their incarceration, the nature of their crimes, the problems that women inmates and their children face inside the correctional homes, and their dealings with the judiciary.Using a mixed methods framework, this volume helps us to understand how multiple hegemonies can affect the offence done by a particular woman. Through inmate interviews, this book provides a window into their struggles and decisions. The narratives contain rich information on their motives and ‘modus operandi’ and produce data on how the ‘self’ is constructed by reflecting upon the complex nature of values, identities, cultures and communities of the inmates. The analytical framework further challenges positivism in contemporary criminology. Advancing feminist criminological agendas, this book aims to help influence the creation and implementation of public policy to improve the conditions of female inmates in correctional homes in countries like India.

This book offers the first comprehensive legal-criminological study of terrorism and reintegration in Malaysia, positioning the country within wider Southeast Asian and global debates. Despite its strategic role in regional counter-terrorism and rehabilitation efforts, Malaysia remains understudied compared to Indonesia and the Philippines. Moving beyond ideological or psychological explanations, the book situates terrorism within lived experience.Drawing on original interviews with ISIS-related returnees from Syria and Afghanistan, former Guantánamo Bay detainees, and individuals prosecuted under Malaysian counter-terrorism laws, it examines how radicalisation, detention, and reintegration unfold in practice. Bridging theory and policy, the analysis explores how law, criminology, and human rights shape both state responses and individual trajectories, and evaluates key counter-terrorism frameworks including SOSMA, POTA, and the Penal Code, against global standards of due process, proportionality, and accountability.Centred on detainee and returnee experiences, the book explores incarceration, stigma, trauma, and reintegration challenges, foregrounding voices often absent from official narratives, including those from non-Arab-speaking communities. It argues that an overreliance on securitisation and theology perpetuates stigma and undermines long-term prevention, and calls for a more holistic, rights-based reintegration framework.

This monograph provides an empirical and theoretical exploration of restorative justice (RJ) in China, the world’s largest and most diverse RJ system, yet one that remains underexplored in global socio-legal and criminological scholarship. Based on extensive fieldwork—including semi-structured interviews with legal professionals and community mediators, observations of mediation sessions across urban and Indigenous sites, and archival analysis—the book examines four key RJ programs: people’s mediation (community-based dispute resolution), public order mediation (police-led interventions for minor offenses), criminal reconciliation (state-mandated settlements in criminal cases, universally implemented across China), and De Gu mediation (an Indigenous practice among the Yi ethnic minority in Liangshan Prefecture).Aimed at socio-legal scholars, criminologists, political scientists, anthropologists, and policymakers interested in comparative justice systems, authoritarian governance, legal pluralism, and Indigenous justice, the book reveals how RJ operates within China’s party-state regime—often as a “thin but broad” form of justice shaped by political imperatives for social harmony and stability maintenance—while challenging Western-centric RJ models through a multi-layered analysis of macro-ideologies (e.g., Confucian harmony and Maoist dialectics), meso-institutional reforms (e.g., 2010 People’s Mediation Law and 2012 Criminal Procedural Law amendments), and micro-practices (e.g., frontline discretion and hybrid state-Indigenous interactions). It highlights RJ’s potential for healing, empowerment, and mutual constitution amid domination, thereby contributing to the decolonization of socio-legal theory by integrating Chinese and Indigenous Yi perspectives.

This book provides a fully-contextualised, multidisciplinary examination of bullying and violence in South Korean society. Bullying and violence has been a pressing societal issue since 2011, having been labelled as a 'social evil' to be eradicated by the government. However, the issue has been incorrectly confined to schools when in fact it is widespread in society and in professional settings, as Bax argues in this original new text. Through twenty in-depth case studies and original case material from a Juvenile Detention Centre, Bax examines the historical, cultural, political and social contexts of bullying and violence to better understand the nature of these crimes, the perpetrators, and how they come together in the broader cultural landscape within which the individual, the family, the school and the community are embedded.
