Though during the 1980s and 1990s, the Party's emphasis was on "kill many," in the 2000s the direction of policy began to move toward "kill fewer." This book details the policies, institutions, and story behind the reform of the death penalty. 410 0$aPalgrave Series in Asian Governance,$x2945-6762 606 $aEthnology$zAsia 606 $aCulture 606 $aAsia$xPolitics and government 606 $aEthics 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aAmerica$xPolitics and government 606 $aCorrections 606 $aPunishment 606 $aAsian Culture 606 $aAsian Politics 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History 606 $aAmerican Politics 606 $aPrison and Punishment 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aAsia$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aAmerica$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aCorrections. 615 0$aPunishment. 615 14$aAsian Culture. 615 24$aAsian Politics. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 615 24$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 615 24$aAmerican Politics. 615 24$aPrison and Punishment. 676 $a364.660951 700 $aTrevaskes$b Susan$f1964-$01683696 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960125003321 996 $aThe Death Penalty in Contemporary China$94328614 997 $aUNINA
