Courts and Criminal Justice in Contemporary China is a study of Chinese judicial power as it is manifested in law and order campaigns and shame punishment. Susan Trevaskes examines today's court practices and their antecedents in China by exploring "law on display" in local trials, rallies, and campaigns. By emphasizing the justice system of the 1980s, it becomes apparent how criminal practices in the period set the foundations for practices into the twenty-first century.
