Policing in Hong Kong (eBook, ePUB)

History and Reform

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring the history and reform of policing in Hong Kong, this book focuses on the colonial years and questions accepted colonial history. Part One demonstrates how colonial policing in Hong Kong and elsewhere takes on the community's local color and hue in practice. Part Two describes the HKP's four distinctive reform periods: the formation period (1845), the reorganization period (1872), the modernization period (1950s), and finally the decolonization period (1990s). It argues that HKP reform in the1950s was the pivotal point in transforming the HKP from a colonial force into a civil one by way of localization, legalization, modernization, communalization, and organization.
