PhD Title
The Evolution of International Anti-Drug Strategy: Analysing Drug Policy and Practice in China
Supervisors
Angus Bancroft and Hugo Gorringe
Research Interests
My current research interest lies in drug policy and practice in China. The Narcotic Control Law was enacted in 2008, and it creatively incorporated community rehabilitation and community recovery in dealing with drug users. As this law was enforced in the wider criminal justice context where drug traffickers, transporters, manufacturers and smugglers are still subjected to harsh punishment, with the death penalty actively used, to what extent this law has changed police attitude towards drug users and how it affects police practice remain to be explored and interpreted. Hopefully, a suggestion of policy amelioration could be generated through this study.
