The study of policing in China is a small but growing subfield with critical insights for law and society scholars. This article examines the fundamentals of policing, tracing the organization’s history and institutional basics before turning to a review of the emerging literature. Scholars have made headway analyzing topics like policing practices, social control, public relations, and police perspectives, but there is still much work to be done. Partly because research on the police faces methodological challenges, the literature is uneven, leaving gaps in our knowledge about key issues such as police corruption, regional variation, and the relationship between police and private security groups. By outlining what we do and do not know about policing in China, this article parses the field’s best answers to questions of how police officers and the Public Security Bureau enforce state mandates and respond to challenges on the ground.

Chinese View

Since the 1950s, police departments have been concerned with police public relations. In order to improve these relations, the Ministry of Public Security did a lot of work. In the 1950s and early 1960s, the relations were more harmonious. Since the 1980s, the relationship has got worse. The main reasons are: (1) The serious social security order situation has forced police departments to distance themselves from the public; (2) Police are forced to do non-police work; (3) Social changes also serve to further distance police from the public; (4) Police departments cannot adjust themselves to the needs of the current situation; (5) Police misconduct is the most important factor to harm the relations in China. In response to these problems police departments have taken the following measures: (1) Strengthened education and training; (2) Improved regulations and discipline to control police conduct; (3) Reinforced inspection and supervision of police; (4) Persistently launched anti-corruption campaigns; (5) Delivered good services to residents.

Pandemic violence and criminality are anathema to a democratic society. And yet, in Latin America, both operate side by side. Illicit activity has propagated precisely because the democratic states of the region have been ineffective at establishing and maintaining the rule of law via public security mechanisms like the police. This ineffectiveness has significant consequences for public support of police forces. Hence, an important question for students of state-building and democratisation is: What factors explain public perceptions of the police? We argue that police forces that are local and unprofessional will be less trusted and viewed as less effective than their more centralised and professional counterparts of state and federal police. In short, we find that centralisation and professionalisation mitigate the impact of crime victimisation and police corruption on the public opinion of the police in Mexico. These findings are drawn from an analysis of the National Survey of Victimisation and Perceptions of Public Security (ENVIPE) in Mexico for 2012 and 2018.

The worldwide outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of reliable and relevant information dissemination. How well a crisis like COVID-19 is handled depends, in many ways, on how the public perceives the crisis and risks related to it, through the media. Therefore, how the situation is framed, what are seen as key issues, and who is perceived to be in charge, can have implications for the outcome. This article analyses Icelandic news media content about COVID-19 at the onset of the pandemic by using theories of agenda-setting and framing. The objective is to examine how the pandemic was framed, which topics were highlighted and who was given a voice in the media. We specifically investigate what kind of leadership was present during the earliest stages of the pandemic. Using content analysis, we examined media content about COVID-19 from 21 Icelandic media outlets from January 1st to March 31st, 2020. Our conclusions show that from the start of the pandemic, health related subjects, such as disease prevention, COVID-19 statistics and the health care system were salient in the media, though tourism and economic factors were also quite prominent. Furthermore, experts were at the helm of communication whilst politicians remained more in the background. The dissemination of instructions and rules illuminates the relationship between the experts and politicians, as the experts were given a voice in the media to communicate such information. The politicians, however, directly cited the experts, thanked them or endorsed them, when they spoke on instructions and rules in the media.

This chapter discusses the social functions of law at both the macro and micro levels. The macro functions of law cover the relationship between law and different orders: public order, political order, social order, economic order, international order, and moral order. They also include the resolution of social problems, the regulation of human relationships, and the educative or ideological function of law. The micro functions of law include: defining the limits of acceptable behaviour, the consequences of certain forms of behaviour, and processes for the transaction of business and other activities, as well as creating regulatory frameworks, giving authority to agents of the state to take actions against citizens, preventing the abuse of power by officials, giving power/authority to officials to assist the public, and prescribing procedures for the use of law.

Between 1969 and 1997 there was an ongoing re-evaluation of male consumer behaviour, which manifested itself through an emergent men’s lifestyle magazine sector, but also an expansion of established media—that is, newspapers, television, and radio. New applications of persuasion also came to the fore as public relations and branding began to play a salient role in the marketing mix. The result of these changes was a concerted increase in the quality and quantity of brand communication aimed at men. This chapter examines the changes in attitude within the persuasion industry towards male consumers and young men in particular and the emergence in the UK of a mass-market men’s magazine sector between 1986 and 1997. It also explores the relationship between titles such as LM, Q, Loaded, and FHM and the public relations industry.

This chapter concentrates on how trust has been conceptualized and studied, providing a refined understanding of many trust-related issues that affect commerce but arguably also other online transactions in the digital age, such as in the public services. A discussion of the role of experience, gender, and culture in relation to the generation of online trust beliefs is presented. It is noted that trust development is dependent on time. Trust is ‘necessary for the success of economic transactions’ and is viewed as the relationship facilitator between trading partners. The focus of online trust issues has developed, and the role of recommendation agents and avatars in trust building is described in the same way that the antecedents of trust received attention a number of years ago. It is hoped that this chapter has clarified some of the key issues that require consideration when researching trust in an online transaction context.
