Comparative Criminology in Asia

Springer Series on Asian Criminology and Criminal Justice Research Series Editor Jianhong Liu Department of Sociology University of Macau Taipa, Macao, China

The series publishes both theoretical and empirical work in Asian Criminology, with a focus on research-level monographs and edited volumes. It aims to cover three main themes: the adaptations and elaborations of established theories and research models (mainly by Western scholarship) to Asian contexts; an introduction of innovative concepts, theories and policies originating in Asian societies to Western audiences; and in-depth studies of particular Asian countries, as they reflect local traditions and cultures on the one hand, and a general understanding of criminal behavior or criminal justice, on the other. It will feature authors from any country of origin doing research about or pertaining to Asian countries. The series encourages submissions of both quantitative and qualitative research approaches, and mixed methods, as well as comparative approaches, with an emphasis on studies using rigorous methods and presenting new research results. It will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, as well as related fields such as sociology, political science, comparative law.
