China's infamous death penalty record is the product of firm Party-state control and policy-setting. Though during the 1980s and 1990s, the Party's emphasis was on "kill many," in the 2000s the direction of policy began to move toward "kill fewer." This book details the policies, institutions, and story behind the reform of the death penalty.

Explores the politics, practice, procedures, and public perceptions of policing serious crime in China, focusing on one particular criminal justice practice - anti-crime campaigns - in the period of transition from planned to market economy from the 1980s to the first years of the twenty-first century.
