  • Structure and Law Enforcement of Environmental Police in China
    Cambridge Journal of China Studies 33 Structure and Law Enforcement of Environmental Police in China Michael WUNDERLICH Free University of Berlin, Germany Abstract: Is the Environmental Police (EP) the solution to close the remaining gaps preventing an effective Environmental Protection Law (EPL) implementation? By analyzing the different concepts behind and needs for a Chinese EP, this question is answered. The Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) has the task of establishing, implementing, and enforcing the environmental law. But due to the fragmented structure of environmental governance in China, the limited power of the EPBs local branches, e.g. when other laws overlap with the EPL, low level of public participation, and lacking capacity and personnel of the EPBs, they are vulnerable and have no effective means for law enforcement. An EP could improve this by being a legal police force. Different approaches have been implemented on a local basis, e.g. the Beijing or Jiangsu EP, but they still lack a legal basis and power. Although the 2014 EPL tackled many issues, some implementation problems remain: The Chinese EP needs a superior legal status as well as the implementation of an EP is not further described. It is likely that the already complex police structure further impedes inter-department-cooperation. Thus, it was proposed to unite all environment-related police in the EP. Meanwhile the question will be raised, which circumstance is making large scale environmental pollution possible and which role environmental ethics play when discussing the concept of EPs. Key Words: China, Environmental Police, Law Enforcement, Environmental Protection Law The author would like to show his gratitude to Ms.

  • Democratic Centralism and Administration in China
    This is the accepted version of the chapter published in: F Hualing, J Gillespie, P Nicholson and W Partlett (eds), Socialist Law in Socialist East Asia, Cambridge University Press (2018) Democratic Centralism and Administration in China Sarah BiddulphP0F 1 1. INTRODUCTION The decision issued by the fourth plenary session of the 18th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP, or Party) in 2014 on Some Major Questions in Comprehensively Promoting Governing the Country According to Law (the ‘Fourth Plenum Decision’) reiterated the Party’s determination to build a ‘socialist rule of law system with Chinese characteristics’.P1F 2P What does this proclamation of the ‘socialist’ nature of China’s version of rule of law mean, if anything? Development of a notion of socialist rule of law in China has included many apparently competing and often mutually inconsistent narratives and trends. So, in searching for indicia of socialism in China’s legal system it is necessary at the outset to acknowledge that what we identify as socialist may be overlaid with other important influences, including at least China’s long history of centralised, bureaucratic governance, Maoist forms of ‘adaptive’ governanceP2F 3P and Western ideological, legal and institutional imports, outside of Marxism–Leninism. In fact, what the Chinese party-state labels ‘socialist’ has already departed from the original ideals of European socialists. This chapter does not engage in a critique of whether Chinese versions of socialism are really ‘socialist’. Instead it examines the influence on China’s legal system of democratic centralism, often attributed to Lenin, but more significantly for this book project firmly embraced by the party-state as a core element of ‘Chinese socialism’.

  • Crime Feeds on Legal Activities: Daily Mobility Flows Help to Explain Thieves' Target Location Choices
    Journal of Quantitative Criminology https://doi.org/10.1007/s10940-019-09406-z ORIGINAL PAPER Crime Feeds on Legal Activities: Daily Mobility Flows Help to Explain Thieves’ Target Location Choices Guangwen Song1 · Wim Bernasco2,3 · Lin Liu1,4 · Luzi Xiao1 · Suhong Zhou5 · Weiwei Liao5 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Objective According to routine activity theory and crime pattern theory, crime feeds on the legal routine activities of ofenders and unguarded victims. Based on this assumption, the present study investigates whether daily mobility fows of the urban population help predict where individual thieves commit crimes. Methods Geocoded tracks of mobile phones are used to estimate the intensity of popula- tion mobility between pairs of 1616 communities in a large city in China. Using data on 3436 police-recorded thefts from the person, we apply discrete choice models to assess whether mobility fows help explain where ofenders go to perpetrate crime. Results Accounting for the presence of crime generators and distance to the ofender’s home location, we fnd that the stronger a community is connected by population fows to where the ofender lives, the larger its probability of being targeted. Conclusions The mobility fow measure is a useful addition to the estimated efects of dis- tance and crime generators. It predicts the locations of thefts much better than the presence of crime generators does. However, it does not replace the role of distance, suggesting that ofenders are more spatially restricted than others, or that even within their activity spaces they prefer to ofend near their homes.

    ISSN 1393-0974 DECEMBER 2007 A N G A R D A S Í O C H Á N A M A N A G E M E N T J O U R N A L EDITORIAL This edition of Communiqué presents the reader with a collection of articles on the subjects of Public Attitudes to the Garda Síochána 2007, Managing Diversity in the Garda Síochána, Road Safety, Internal Audit and finally a brief history of the Garda college. Sergeant Patrick Kennedy and Ms. Mary Walker of the Garda Research Unit provide an analysis of the findings from the Public Attitudes Survey 2007 and the Traveller/Ethnic Minority Survey 2007. It examines findings from both surveys on a number of key themes i.e. satisfaction, contact, local performance, experience of crime, visibility, approachability, policing priorities, racism, fear of crime and policing different cultures. The findings reveal that while satisfaction is generally high, some groups are not as satisfied with the Garda service. This was most evident among Travellers. Furthermore, policing priorities were different for distinct groups. The challenge is therefore to fulfil expectations and, when this is not possible, to know it did not arise from an inadequate Garda service. Superintendent Christopher Gordon tracks the rapid levels of change that has recently occurred in Ireland and sets out the need for the organisation, to strategically manage this change. In addition the article examines the ‘business case’ for managing diversity in the Garda Síochána and an insight into models used in other countries for the integration of ethnic and religious minorities.

  • From Rhetoric to Reality
    ARTICLES SOCIAL ORGANIZATION OF RIGHTS: FROM RHETORIC TO REALITY Fu Hualing* Abstract Public interest litigation (PIL) is a form of socio-legal activism. PIL originated in the United States, and spread, through the aggressive promotion of U.S.-centric rule of law, to China, where it has had a signifi- cant impact on socio-legal activism since the 1990s. This Article explores both the process through which human rights discourse is translated into practice by activist lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as the circumstances that cause socio-legal mobilization to fail or succeed. This Article examines the collective and sustained endeavour by human rights lawyers and other activists to advocate for the rights of specific communi- ties through a rights complex, composed of activist lawyers, NGO leaders, and citizen journalists, as well as supporters within state institutions, Chi- nese society, and the international community. This Article looks at the institutionalized manner through which legal cases facilitate socio-le- gal mobilization to serve the broader objectives of educating citizens, enhancing the capacity of civil society, and making the government more accountable and responsive. The principal argument is that once citizens are endowed with legal rights and institutions are put in place for their implementation, the remaining issue is raising rights-awareness among rights-bearing citizens and generate demand for rights in society and channel those rights to institutions. Lawyers and other rights defenders play an indispensable bridging function in translating rhetoric to practice. * Professor Fu Hualing is Professor of Law and the Warren Chan Professor in Human Rights and Responsibilities in the Department of Law at the University of Hong Kong (HKU).
