Doctoral Dissertation Research: Community Policing - Rhetoric or Reality? The Contemporary Chinese Community - Based Policing System in Shanghai

Zatz这个项目考察了经济改革时期的中国社区警务。中国的非正式社会控制实践根植于中国的历史、社会和文化传统。通过关注这一过渡时期的社区警务，该项目将有助于我们对全球社区警务的理解。Braithwaite（1989）的再整合羞耻感理论作为理论框架。重新整合羞耻感的主要社会条件是社群主义和相互依赖。虽然中国的社区在很大程度上是由国家塑造的，这不可避免地偏离了西方的社区概念，但中国基层的分散和非正式的社会控制策略蕴含着以社区为基础的社会控制系统的本质。通过识别中国社区警务的关键变量，本研究将揭示在中国背景下，法律与秩序之间的矛盾是如何调和的，社区与警察之间的相互依存关系是如何维持的，以及居民是如何动员的。研究环境包括中国上海的两个社区。地点的选择反映了不同社区的社会经济特征。本文采用了历史、文献和政策分析、实地调查和社区居民调查等多种研究方法来检验和阐述在中国语境下的“再整合羞辱”理论%%%%

9632990 Zatz This project examines Chinese community policing during the economic reform era. Chinese informal social control practices are rooted in China's historical, social and cultural traditions. By focusing on community policing during this transitional period, this project will contribute to our understanding of community policing globally. Braithwaite's (1989) theory of reintegrative shaming serves as the theoretical framework. The primary social conditions for reintegrative shaming are communitarianism and interdependency. Although the Chinese community has been largely shaped by the state, which inevitably deviates from the Western conceptualization of community, the Chinese decentralized and informal social control strategies at the grass-roots level entail the essence of a community-based social control system. By identifying key variables central to Chinese community policing, this research will unveil how, in the Chinese context, contradictions between law and order are reconciled, the interdependent relationship between the community and the police is sustained, and residents are mobilized. The research setting consists of two communities in Shanghai, China. Sites are selected to reflect contrasting socioeconomic characteristics of the community. Multiple research methods are employed, including historical, documentary and policy analysis, field work, and a survey of neighborhood residents to test and elaborate the theory of reintegrative shaming In the: Chinese context %%%%
