{"product_id":"the-construction-of-guilt-in-yu-mou-9781509913022","title":"The Construction of Guilt in China: An Empirical Account of Routine Chinese Injustice","description":"Drawing on insights from the author's own empirical data obtained from systematic observation of the daily routines within Chinese criminal justice institutions, this ground-breaking book examines the functional deficiency of the criminal justice system in preventing innocent individuals from being wrongly accused and convicted. Set within a broad socio-legal context, it outlines the strategic interrelationships between key legal actors, the deep-seated legal culture embedded in practice, the deficiency of integrity of the system and the structural injustices that follow. The author traces criminal case files in the criminal process - how they are constructed, scrutinised and used to dispose of cases and convict defendants in lieu of witnesses' oral testimony. This book illustrates that the Chinese criminal justice system as a state apparatus of social control has been framed through performance indicators, bureaucratic management and the central value of collectivism in such a way as to maintain the stability of the authoritarian power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Construction of Guilt in China\u003c\/i\u003ewill appeal to academics, researchers, policy advisers and practitioners working in the areas of criminal law, comparative criminal justice, criminology and Chinese studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yu Mou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509913025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509913022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Yu Mou","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47611761656063,"sku":"9781509913022","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6de23ef-c740-433c-b152-de89ee6ab160.jpg?v=1764515903","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-construction-of-guilt-in-yu-mou-9781509913022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
