Gender and sentencing in capital cases: Chinese criminal justice professionals’ perspectives
The operation of a fair criminal justice system hinges upon its criminal justice professionals (CJPs) making decisions based on considerations of legal but not extra-legal factors. Studies have shown that offenders’ gender, an extra-legal factor, may impact criminal justice decisions. Both the paternalism/chivalry and evil women hypotheses are proposed and tested accordingly. In comparison, fewer studies explored the impact of CJPs’ gender on the…

Interdependency, Perceived Shame, and Probability of Wrongdoing Among Chinese Students: A Partial Test of the Reintegrative Shaming Theory
Compared with other mainstream criminological theories, Reintegrative Shaming Theory (RST) draws insufficient empirical evaluations. Given RST’s unique attention to non-Western societies and the significance of shaming in Chinese society, China provides a strategic setting for RST’s empirical assessment. Utilizing a Chinese youth sample, this study explores the association between interdependency and the probability of wrongdoing, and the mediati…
Mechanisms linking parents’ education level to adolescent gaming disorder among Chinese Special School students: Serial mediating effects of emotional abuse experience and psychopathy
There is limited research on the predictors of gaming disorder for parents regarding educational background. In particular, research conducted in settings similar to ours has identified gaming disorder as a significant risk factor for behaviors associated with juvenile delinquency. This article proposes and tests hypotheses that the father’s and mother’s education levels were related to adolescent gaming disorder in adolescents in Chongqing, Chin…
Exploring the Connection Between Organizational Justice and Life Satisfaction Among Chinese Police Officers (A Research Note)
Published research on the predictors of police officer life satisfaction in terms of workplace variables is important but limited; research concerning police officers in China (despite the large number of officers employed there) is even more limited. This study tests the hypotheses that perceptions of procedural and distributive justice would be related to the life satisfaction of Chinese police officers in three major Chinese areas: southern, c…
Does Criminal Experience Affect a Person’s Perceptual Deterrence of Sanctions and Controlling Mechanisms in China
Two notable gaps remain undressed in deterrence literature: (a) few studies on perceptual deterrence were conducted in non-Western societies, and (b) a lack of direct comparison between offenders and nonoffenders. This study investigated the perceived risk levels associated with different sanctions and controlling mechanisms and whether criminal experience affects one’s perceived risk levels based on the data drawn from non-offenders and active o…
Testing Self-Control Theory Among Incarcerated Drug Offenders in China
Since its introduction by Gottfredson and Hirschi, self-control theory has been widely applied in criminology for its claimed explanatory breadth and presumed invariance across cultures and populations. Yet empirical assessments of its applicability to high-risk groups in non-Western settings remain scarce. This study draws on survey data from two compulsory drug rehabilitation centers in southwest China to evaluate the psychometric structure of …
Procedural Fairness and Fear of Crime: Extending the Procedural Justice Theoretical Model Under the Chinese Context
This study examines the relationship between procedural fairness and fear of crime in the context of China. Based on original data collected from a random sample of 2,245 residents in a southeast city in China, this study reveals a salient influence of procedural fairness on fear of crime, reflected by its significant positive effects on not only emotional-based fear but also cognitive fear (perceived risk of victimization). Results also suggest …

A Study of Gender Differences on Chinese Criminal Justice Practitioners’ Death Penalty Opinions
Among Western studies of death penalty public opinion, one specific inquiry is on potential gender differences between men and women. While many studies conducted in the United States found a gender gap in which men exhibited significantly higher levels of support for capital punishment, studies of this gender gap in other nations are rare and the results are mixed and inconsistent. Based on a sample of 516 criminal justice professionals (CJPs) f…

Examining fear of crime among Macao residents: Vulnerability, victimisation and situational factors
This study examines fear of crime among residents of Macao using data from the 2022 Macao Victimisation Survey. Fear of crime is conceptualised as a multidimensional construct encompassing affective, cognitive and behavioural components. Analyses are based on regression models incorporating vulnerability, victimisation and situational factors. The study also assesses whether situational variables moderate the relationship between victimisation an…
Neighbourhood Social Control and Police Legitimacy: An Empirical and Theoretical Exploration in the Context of Contemporary Urban China
Using data collected from a survey of 2,245 residents in a Chinese city, this study examined the influences of all three forms of social control processes (collective efficacy, semi-formal/public control and formal/public control) on police legitimacy. The results revealed a salient relationship between people’s assessment of these forms of neighbourhood social control and their police legitimacy judgements. This study also demonstrated a moderat…
Social Strain or Self-Control: An Empirical Test of Explanations of Employee Theft
Testing Death Penalty Opinions With General Questions and A Specific Case Scenario: Potential Lessons From China
Despite rich literature on public opinion on capital punishment, only a few studies examined people’s death penalty support within specific contexts. None have explored if correlates that influence people’s opinion would hold the same effect in general questions and specific case scenarios. Similarly, the Marshall hypotheses have not been tested with specific crime scenarios. Based on a sample of 1,077 students in a quasiexperimental design, this…
Using the Job Demands-Resources Model to Examine Possible Correlates of Fear of Being Victimized at Work Among Chinese Prison Officers
This study surveyed 322 officers at two prisons in China to investigate the influence of job demands (i.e., role overload and routinization), job resources (i.e., training, job autonomy, instrumental communication, and supervision), and demographic characteristics on workplace fear of victimization. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis indicated role overload was related to higher levels of fear, while training and job autonomy were r…
Family Attachment and Delinquency Among Chinese Adolescents: The Mediating Roles of Adolescent Self-Disclosure and Parental Knowledge
As a crucial factor in the personal development, social interaction, and emotional maturation of children, family attachment plays a prominent role in the social control theory of delinquency. However, limited attention has been paid to the disentanglement and causal ordering of the elements of family attachment. This study utilizes data drawn from a sample of youth in China aged twelve to seventeen to examine path models that specify the interre…
The Dynamics of Anti-Corruption Campaigns in China: An Empirical Study of the Official Rank-Punishment Nexus in the Context of Political and Legal Changes
Along with the escalating corruption problem in China comes the Chinese government's continuous effort to combat corruption. The increased intensity, duration and scope of anti-corruption campaign over time culminated with Xi's effort to fight both 'tigers' and 'flies' during his administration. Despite growing research interests, few empirical studies took a dynamic approach to compare the effect of Xi's campaign with that of his predecessors. B…
The relationship between criminology and criminal law: Implications for developing Chinese criminology
During the last four decades, Chinese criminology has grown steadily but modestly. One consensus is the lack of a clear understanding of the relationship between criminology and criminal law. This paper attempts to provide a critical review of the relationship between the two disciplines by first tracing the historical development of criminology in both China and Western countries. It then clarifies the distinctions and overlaps between criminolo…
Listening to voices from multiple sources: A qualitative text analysis of the emotional experiences of women living with breast cancer in China
Background: Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment is both a physical and emotional journey. Previous studies using single-source data have revealed common and culture-specific emotional experiences of patients living with breast cancer. However, few studies have combined such data from multiple sources. Thus, using a variety of data sources, the current study sought to explore the emotional experiences of women in China newly diagnose…

The primary purpose of the current study was to assess the role of organizational justice in understanding prison staff job stress. Specifically, the authors surveyed 322 correctional employees across two prisons located in Guangzhou, China to explore the effects of distributive, procedural, informational, and interpersonal justice on work stress. Results from ordinary least squares analysis revealed significant contributions from three dimension…
Rational planning strategies of urban structure, metro, and car use for reducing transport carbon dioxide emissions in developing cities
Understanding transport carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission impact factors’ effects is important for the rational planning strategy making in reducing the emissions. This study determines transport emission impact factors’ heterogeneous effects and proposes urban and transport planning strategies in typical developing cities. Quantile regression is applied to overcome the insufficiency of factors’ mean effects and to avoid the biased estimations when…
Chinese Women's Acceptance of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women
Few studies have empirically examined factors influencing attitudes toward acceptance of intimate partner violence (IPV), and no study has yet studied the topic in China. We empirically test the effects of attitudes toward gender roles and exposure to violence during childhood on the acceptance of IPV and the moderating effects of education and income on these relationships. Using survey data collected from 600 Chinese women from southern China, …
Extending Social Disorganization Theory: Modeling the Relationships Between Cohesion, Disorder, and Fear
In this study, we build on recent social disorganization research, estimating models of the relationships between disorder, burglary, cohesion, and fear of crime using a sample of neighborhoods from three waves of the British Crime Survey. The results indicate that disorder has an indirect effect on burglary through fear and neighborhood cohesion. Although cohesion reduces disorder, nonrecursive models show that disorder also reduces cohesion. Pa…

A Multilevel Analysis of the Risk of Household Burglary in the City of Tianjin, China
This study applies the integrated, multilevel framework developed in the West to explain variation in the risk of household burglary within the city of Tianjin, China. The analytic framework consists of three sets of determinants: household variables, neighbourhood structural factors, and neighbourhood social control processes. The selection of variables is guided by routine activities/lifestyle theories and the social disorganization perspective…
An Exploration of the Determinants of Reporting Crime to the Police in the City of Tianjin, China
Western research has investigated three types of correlates of crime reporting–victim‐specific (individual or household), incident‐specific, and environment‐specific variables. The current study applies this general, analytical framework to explore the determinants of crime reporting to the police in contemporary urban China. Using data collected from a recent survey of criminal victimization in Tianjin, we assess the determinants for reporting o…

Socio‐Demographic Correlates of Fear of Crime and the Social Context of Contemporary Urban China
Previous research in the West has established major socio‐demographic correlates of fear of crime. The interpretation of these correlates is typically based on the concept of physical or social vulnerability of individuals. These correlates are implicitly regarded as invariant to social or community contexts, reflecting universal human behavioral patterns. The present study argues that social change may alter patterns of perceptions associated wi…

Chinese Women's Financial Independence and Their Intimate Partner Violence Victimization Experiences
China, as a traditional patriarchal society, provides an excellent context to examine whether and how increased financial independence of women may influence intimate partner violence. This study examines how financial independence influences Chinese women's victimization experiences of physical violence, psychological violence, controlling behavior, and sexual abuse. Data were collected from 600 married or divorced women aged between 20 and 60, …
The Effects of Classroom Anger, Strain, and Negative Emotions on Delinquency among Vocational School Students in China

A Case Study of Chinese Netizens’ Opinions on Capital Punishment: Diversity, Rationale, and Interaction
Empirical studies of Chinese public opinion on capital punishment are very rare. Almost all past studies suffered from questionable survey designs and/or nonrepresentative/nonrandom sampling (e.g., student samples). In this study, to examine the breadth and the depth of public opinion on capital punishment, we turn to Chinese netizens’ opinions online on a particular capital case, the Lin Senhao poisoning case. Though our netizen sample has its o…
