Funded Activity Summary

The Social History of Punishment in Modern China. The project will investigate the cultural and historical roots of the political and social practices of punishment in modern Chinese history in order to answer the question of why harsh punitive measures have been so readily used and accepted. The subject has never been adequately researched. Extensive use will be made of interviewing, archival materials, and a wide range of other documentation. It is important to comprehend from an historical perspective the past and present Chinese mentality regarding punitiveness and law-and-order in order to come to grips with human rights issues and China's legal system.
