A number of legal reforms have been implemented in Chinese criminal courts in recent years, but there has been little research on whether these reforms have been effective. This book fills that gap, by unveiling the day-to-day reality of  criminal cases tried by the lowest level courts in China.  The data used in this study include hundreds of criminal trial observations, complete criminal case dossiers, and a comprehensive questionnaire survey of criminal justice practitioners from one large province located in China?s Southeast coast.  These data were collected over a two-year period, with a generous research grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, by scholars already working in the Chinese legal system. The work opens with a historical framework of the Chinese criminal justice system, both Western and Chinese interpretations, and an overview of the current state of the system. It will provide unique analysis of how criminal trials are being carried out in China, with a useful context for scholars with varying levels of familiarity with the current system. The research framework for gathering data discussed in this book will also provide a useful basis for studying the criminal justice system in other regions. 606 $aCriminology 606 $aCriminal law 606 $aCriminology and Criminal Justice, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B0000 606 $aCriminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R13006 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aCriminal law. 615 14$aCriminology and Criminal Justice, general. 615 24$aCriminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law. 676 $a300 676 $a345 676 $a345.5107 676 $a364 700 $aHe$b Ni$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01225893 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483816103321 996 $aChinese Criminal Trials$92846229 997 $aUNINA
