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

9632990 Zatz本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植根于中国的历史、社会和文化传统。通过在这一过渡时期侧重于社区警务，该项目将有助于我们了解全球的社区警务。 Braithwaite（1989）的重返社会羞辱理论是本文的理论框架。重返社会羞辱的主要社会条件是社群主义和相互依存。虽然中国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社会控制策略本质上是以社区为基础的社会控制系统。通过确定中国社区警务的关键变量，本研究将揭示在中国背景下，如何协调法律与秩序之间的矛盾，维持社区与警察之间的相互依存关系，并动员居民。 研究环境包括中国上海的两个社区。选择的地点反映了社区的社会经济特征。本研究采用历史分析、文献分析、政策分析、田野调查、社区居民问卷调查等多种研究方法，对重返社会的羞耻感理论进行了验证和阐述。

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 %%%%
