A Question of Intent
Brill (Verlag)
978-90-04-33015-3 (ISBN)
In A Question of Intent: Homicide Law and Criminal Justice in Qing and Republican China, Jennifer M. Neighbors uses legal cases from the local, provincial and central levels to explore both the complexity with which Qing law addressed abstract concepts and the process of adoption, adaptation, and resistance as late imperial law gave way to criminal law of the Republican period. This study reveals a Chinese justice system, both before and after 1911, that defies assignment to binary categories of modern and pre-modern law that have influenced much of past scholarship.
Jennifer M. Neighbors, Ph.D. (2004), University of California, Los Angeles, is Professor of History at the University of Puget Sound.
