Robbery, Death, and Irony: How an Armed Robbery Wave in Hong Kong Led to the Abolition of the Death Penalty
Hong Kong experienced a wave of armed robberies from 1989 to 1993. As the number of robberies increased in 1990 and 1991, there were several calls for the use of capital punishment as a deterrent. Yet when a Legislative Councillor proposed a motion in favour of the death penalty at the height of the wave, in June 1991, the motion was not only defeated but, due to the adroit use of a procedural device by a single Councillor, resulted in a majority…
Prison Systems: A Comparative Study of Accountability in England, France, Germany, and The Netherlands
The idea of accountability lies at the heart of the fair administration of prisons in our society. This study examines the concept of accountability in prisons and the way it works in practice in four leading EC member states. In doing so it helps to answer the question of how similar and different these systems are and how the principle of accountability contributes to prison governance here and abroad. This book should be of interest to scholar…

Policing Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a small British colony, virtually a city state, on the edge of China. Given the paucity of previous material on the Hong Kong Police, the aims here are modest. The paper gives a short overview of policing arrangements, police‐community relations, and the impact of regional politics on the policing of the territory. It moves on to a discussion of police corruption, which for many years was the single most salient issue in policing, an…
