Understanding Criminal Justice in Hong Kong, 2nd Edition offers a detailed and comprehensive overview of and introduction to the criminal justice system in Hong Kong, building upon recent events and controversies.

  • Outlines the basic concepts of criminal law in Hong Kong,
  • Analyses the process of the criminal justice system, ranging from the reporting of a crime through to the correctional system,
  • Examines how criminal justice personnel work in practice, and how they deal with the offenders and victims during the criminal justice process,
