Police Oversight in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan

Summary

This brief offers an overview of the prevailing debates in police oversight and accountability through an analysis of policing in Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan. It places emphasis on three major controversies of oversight: professionalism, representation, and empowerment. Arguing that traditional models do not accurately depict variations in police systems in Asia, the volume aims to bring attention to the implementation of these three concepts and clearly articulate the power relationship within these Asian police oversight mechanisms. This brief will be a useful resource for researchers in policing as well as criminologists, political scientists, and sociologists, particularly those specializing in East Asia. Provides an overview of debates in police oversight and accountability; Analyzes policing and police oversight mechanisms in Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan; Offers a new perspective on power relations within police oversight mechanisms.--, Provided by publisher
