Book Description
This book documents a systematic investigation into various aspects of policing in the People's Republic of China, including its scholarship, idea, origin, history, education, culture, reform, and theory. It approaches the study of Chinese policing from an indigenous perspective, informed by local empirical data. In proposing an innovative theory of community policing entitled «Police Power as a Social Resource Theory», the book seeks to look at crime as a personal problem, and police as a social resource, from the perspective of the people and not the state.

Book Description
Hong Kong in 1970 was the fastest expanding city in the world, a city that lived on three levels - the expatriates, nearly always British who lived in almost complete isolation; the vast mass of Chinese residents struggling to get by and improve their lot; and finally the criminal and corrupt underside which not only fought among itself but also affected the life of everyone else in the Crown Colony through fear and corruption. Fighting to hold this in check - and by and large succeeding - were the Hong Kong police force. At the officer level, many were British. Into this heady and dangerous mix steps a young Merseyside policeman, Chris Emmett. His account of those times brings vividly to life the crime, prostitution, drugs, triad street gangs and corruption that was an important part of the fabric of Hong Kong of those days.

Book Description
'Les Bird joined the Hong Kong Marine Police in 1976 and saw the last years of the hard-working, hard-drinking colonial policemen handing out rough justice in the World of Suzie Wong. He was one of a handful of senior officers dealing with sensitive issues including refugees fleeing Vietnam and the smuggling of guns, drugs and people to or from Communist China in the leadup to the handover of the colony back to China in 1997. Filled with gripping stories spanning twenty years, A Small Band of Men follows Bird and his mentor, "Diamond" Don Bishop, an eccentric officer whose volatile temper and larger-than-life personality was a major influence in Bird's career. Supported by his second-in-command, Joe Poon, Bird gained the trust of his band of men to such an extent that they followed him into danger, even at the risk of their own lives.'
Author: Sheilah E. Hamilton Publisher: Hong Kong University Press ISBN: 9622099009 Category : History Languages : en Pages : 243
Book Description
In this pioneering study, Sheilah Hamilton shows that, from the earliest days of British rule, the colonial administration introduced harsh legislation to control Chinese watchmen who were employed to protect the fledgling colony's property in the absence of an effective public police force. She examines the growth in different Hong Kong Government departments of what would now be regarded as 'hybrid' police and argues that the existence of such posts within the civil service resulted in greater social control of the local Chinese community at minimal extra expense. Amongst the topics of private security explored are: the impact of the few private security personnel engaged by local Chinese organizations such as the Nam Pak Hong, Tung Wah Hospital and Po Leung Kuk; the evolution of the District Watch Force from a force engaged in purely local security duties to an arm of the Hong Kong Government involved in non-security matters such as controversial sanitary inspections; and the unique system of village guards and scouts in the New Territories. A particular focus is the early maritime security problems and the internal security forces of Hong Kong's shipping companies. A final chapter compares the situation in Hong Kong and explores the similarities and differences with Shanghai during the period.
