Responding to Youth Crime in Hong Kong: Penal Elitism, Legitimacy and Citizenship: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Responding to Youth Crime in Hong Kong: Penal Elitism, Legitimacy and Citizenship" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

A societys response to youth crime reveals much about its broader cultural values, social circumstances, and political affairs. This book examines reactions and policy responses to youth delinquency and crime in Hong Kong during its colonial and post-colonial periods, and in doing so, underscores the history of Hong Kong itself and its present-day circumstances.

Exploring how officials have responded to youth crime in Hong Kong over time, this book tracks the emergence of a penal elitist mode of governance, highlighting concerns not only about young peoples behavior but the need for officials to establish state authority and promote citizen identification. In turn, it reveals an alternative to the usual story about youth crime found in many western regions and provides an opportunity to begin to develop a comparative criminology. The book examines the emergence of the disciplinary welfare tariff during the 1970s, debates and policy changes related to the minimum age of criminal responsibility and youth sex crimes, and inaction regarding the introduction of restorative justice initiatives in the post-colonial era. It also addresses the power of Post-80s youth to protest and challenge government policies, which directly combat contemporary fears regarding the mainlandization of Hong Kong.

Drawing on archival sources, official reports and interviews with key stakeholders in the juvenile justice system, Responding to Youth Crime in Hong Kong will appeal to students and scholars interested in Chinese society, criminology, social work, sociology and youth studies.

Adorjan and Chui offer a stunning perspective on Hong Kongs political responses - photo 1

Adorjan and Chui offer a stunning perspective on Hong Kongs political responses to youth over time, and a compelling case study of the pressures that are brought to bear on a societys core understanding of young people. Not to be missed, this fascinating work is an important contribution to comparative criminology and youth justice.

Don Cipriani, Ph.D., author of Childrens Rights and the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility: A Global Perspective

Adorjan and Chui have not only provided us with an accessible scholarly analysis of youth crime and juvenile/youth justice in Hong Kong. They have also contributed to an evolving body of work from South-east Asia that opens new doors and significantly advances our understanding of comparative criminology.

Professor Barry Goldson, The University of Liverpool, UK

In Responding to Youth Crime in Hong Kong, Adorjan and Chui, through a careful examination of the key issues and debates on juvenile delinquency in different historical contexts, have given us an original and insightful analysis of institutional responses to youth delinquency and crime in Hong Kong. Their perceptive discussion of the historical structuration of state-society relations and the configuration of a penal elitist mode of governance points to a new set of research questions for future studies. This is a Hong Kong case study but the authors are able to relate their discussion to the broader concerns of comparative criminology, youth studies, social work, and sociological studies of deviance.

The governance of childhood and youthparticularly the regulation of children and young people who offend adult sensibilities, transgress normative boundaries and/or breach the criminal lawcontinues to exercise governments and policy makers across the world, as it has done for decades. That said, the various means by which children and young people are governed and/or juvenile/youth justice is administered, are neither uniform nor static. Rather, both formal and informal modes of governance and regulation and, more specifically, the nature and shape of juvenile/youth justice systems, are characterized by ever-changing organizational forms and operational impulses. It follows, therefore, that policy responses and practice formations directed toward youth crime not only change over time (the temporal dimension), but they also vary between jurisdictions and, in some cases,
