Handbook of Asian Criminology
The Handbook of Asian Criminology aims to be a key reference for international scholars with an interest in the broad theme of international criminology in general, and the Asian region in particular. Contextualization is a key theme in this book. The role of context is often underemphasized in international criminology, so the Handbook of Asian Criminology’s premise that crime and the responses to it are best understood as deeply embedded in the cultural specificity of the environment which produces them will play a key role throughout the work. Attention will be given to country- and region specific attitudes towards crime and punishment.
Cixi: The Iron Lady of China's Imperial Court
In an era dominated by male rulers, one woman's extraordinary rise to power left an indelible mark on Chinese history. "Cixi: The Iron Lady of China's Imperial Court" chronicles the fascinating journey of Empress Dowager Cixi, from her humble beginnings as a concubine to her unprecedented reign over the Qing Dynasty. Through cunning political maneuvering, strategic alliances, and unwavering determination, Cixi navigated the treacherous corridors of the Forbidden City to become one of the most powerful and controversial figures of her time. Liu Jianhong masterfully captures the essence of Cixi's life, delving into the personal sacrifices, intense rivalries, and monumental reforms that defined her rule. This compelling narrative not only sheds light on Cixi's significant influence on China's modernization but also explores the complexities of her character—a woman of resilience, intellect, and unyielding ambition. Join us on a journey through opulent palaces, clandestine meetings, and pivotal moments in Chinese history as we uncover the story of Cixi, the iron lady who defied all odds to shape the destiny of a nation.
Crime and Justice in Contemporary Japan
This book provides an important overview of key criminology and criminal justice concerns in Japan. It highlights similarities between the practice of criminology research in Japan, as well as important differences, with other areas of Asia and with the West.

Currently, Japan still enjoys a declining crime rate (the lowest among major industrialized countries) and a study of criminal justice practices in Japan may provide important insights for other regions. Japan also experiences important contemporary chal...
