This book examines the conciliatory institutions that operate
within criminal law in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan.
Despite having the same legal traditions, the two countries have
taken very different political and social roads over the past
century. Taking these important factors into account, the book
compares the conciliatory mechanisms that have emerged in the two
countries, particularly focusing on the influence of Confucian
tradition in current criminal reconciliation practices. By
drawing upon in-depth interviews with multiple experts in the
area, the role of tradition in the discipline of modern Xingshi
Hejie is explored, alongside an analysis of the reasons that lead
victims and offenders to choose this conciliatory procedure. The
book offers a fascinating account of this feature of criminal
justice in China and Taiwan, and will be of particular interest
to scholars interested in comparative approaches to criminology
and criminal justice.
