Community Corrections Under the Principal Sources of Sentencing Decisions in China: The Challenges in Sentencing Practice

Abstract

This article provides an overview of community corrections under the principal sources of sentencing decisions in China. It finds some disparities between the initial design and the actual rules on sentencing, which reflect some deep and abiding underlying issues of the penal system. In turn, these restrict further expansion of community corrections.
