Criminal Defense in China
Authors: Terence Halliday, Sida Liu, University of Wisconsin, Department of Sociology and School of Law
Terence Halliday and Sida Liu are completing a National Science Foundation funded research program that studies the development of criminal procedure law and practice in China.
The research has three main components:
- What are the policy debates over China's Criminal Procedure Law?
- How do lawyers implement criminal procedure law in their everyday practices?
- And what sorts of international influences shape Chinese criminal procedure law and practice?
The principal findings of the research were published in Sida Liu and Terence C. Halliday's 2016 book, Criminal Defense in China: The Politics of Lawyers at Work. (New York: Cambridge University Press).
