Justice
Systems Workshop:
China
For the last four years, Professor Christopher Stone has been collaborating with scholars in China who are leading a new generation of practical experiments in criminal justice reform. While the attention of many observers in the West has focused on the criminal prosecution of high-profile political and commercial cases, these scholars have been focused on criminal procedure in ordinary cases. These scholars include some of the most influential in Chinese criminal procedure, including the distinguished professor who drafted the last criminal procedure law adopted in 1996.
| Specifically, these scholars and their partners in the police, procuracy, legal aid departments, and courts, have been working in five separate teams, each pursuing a distinct experimental project in anticipation of the 2007 criminal procedure reform. The five experiments intervene at different stages of the criminal justice process. Together, these projects are pursuing reform all across the system. Thanks to a generous grant from the Ford Foundation, Professor Stone and the Justice Systems Workshop are working with these five teams in the planning and analysis of the projects. |
51--October 2009 |
In October 2008, senior scholars from the five projects assembled at the Harvard Kennedy School for a Seminar on Empirical Approaches to Criminal Procedure Reform in China. This will be followed in April 2009 by a workshop on Criminal Justice and Empirical Theory.
In addition to the research on criminal procedure reform, the Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management produces a monthly update on news and developments in Chinese justice called the China Justice News Update. The Update covers Chinese language press reports on justice institutions such as the police, prosecution, courts, and prisons, important social issues such as juvenile offending and migration, and controversial legal topics such as plea bargaining and the death penalty. Each update focuses in depth on at least one issue, and provides synopses of major articles on other topics.
