自20世纪50年代以来，中国通过限制人口流动和分离城乡人口来构建社会关系。在1980年代和1990年代，中国经济战略和户籍制度的变化导致了大量临时“流动”人口的增长。本文认为，犯罪率上升与流动人口有关，传统的社会控制体系无法解决这一问题。虽然已经制定了立法措施来解决由此产生的问题，但基本矛盾仍然存在：改善国家经济的计划也创造了威胁进步的流动人口。高调宣传的运动和行政拘留和死刑的广泛使用，使人们注意到政府为减少犯罪所做的努力，从而使国家合法化，但它们并没有解决中国新经济不能为人民提供就业的基本矛盾。
Since the 1950s, China has structured social relationships by limiting the population's mobility and separating the urban and rural populations. In the 1980s and 1990s, changes in China's economic strategy and its system of household registration contributed to the growth of a large transient “floating” population. This article argues that rising crime is linked to the floating population and that the traditional system of social control cannot resolve this problem. Although legislative measures have been enacted to address the resultant problems, the basic contradiction remains: The plan that has improved the nation's economy has also created the floating population that threatens progress. Highly publicized campaigns and the extensive use of administrative detention and capital punishment call attention to the government's efforts to curtail crime and, thus, legitimate the state, but they do not resolve the basic contradiction that China's new economy cannot provide employment for the people.
