Authors: Terence Halliday, Sida Liu, University of Wisconsin, Department of Sociology and School of Law

Terence Halliday and Sida Liu are conducting a National Science Foundation funded research program (2009-2012) that studies the development of criminal procedure law in China.

The research has three main components:

  • What are the policy debates and proposed reforms of the Criminal Procedural 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 research is producing a series of articles, chapters and a book.
