Delinquency and Its Prevention in China

Guo Xiang

China University of Political Science and Law, 25 Xi Tucheng Road, Beijing 100088, China

Since the late 1970s, crime and delinquency in China have been increasing. The author gives a brief description of the actual situation of juvenile delinquency in China. He points out that although in recent years the increased rate of juvenile delinquency was lower than that of adult crime, public concern has been raised about crimes such as robbery, gang crime, and juvenile drug use. Based on a survey of 2,000 randomly sampled delinquents, the author presents some primary interpretations of the social factors of delinquency in China. A brief description of the preventive measures used against juvenile crime in China is presented.
