While the abolitionist movement has made a successful stride in recent decades, a small number of countries remain committed to the death penalty and impose it with a relatively high frequency. In this regard, the People's Republic of China no doubt leads the world in both numbers of death sentences and executions. Despite being the largest user of the death penalty, China has never conducted a national poll on citizens' opinions toward capital punishment, while claiming "overwhelming public support" as a major justification for its retention and use. Chinese Netizens' Opinions on Death Sentences: An Empirical Examination uses a forum of public comments to explore and examine Chinese netizens' opinions on the death penalty. Based on a content analysis of 38,512 comments collected from 63 cases in 2015, this study examines the diversity and rationales of netizens' opinions, netizens' interactions, and their evaluation of China's criminal justice system. In addition, the book discusses China's social, systemic, and structural problems and critically examines the rationality of netizens' opinions based on Habermas's communicative rationality framework. Readers will be able to contextualize Chinese netizens' discussions and draw conclusions about commonalities and uniqueness of China's death penalty practice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Study of Chinese public opinion on capital punishment in a new environment -- Diversity of Netizen's opinions: The breadth and depth -- Rationales of Netizens' decisions: Why do they support or reject death sentences? -- Interactions: Ho do Netizens respond to each other? -- Variances of Netizens' opinions: Crime types, defendants and victims, legal procedures, and media reporting -- Criminal justice system and its professions in the eyes of Netizens -- Social, systemic, and structural problems: How are Netizens' opinions embedded within the framework of contemporary Chinese society? -- Netizens' discussion of death sentences: Rationality or irrationality? -- The Lin Senhao Case: A live debate of life or death -- Public opinion in a unique form. 650 0 $a Capital punishment $z China $x Public opinion $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z China $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Online social networks $x Political aspects $z China. 650 7 $a Capital punishment $x Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846403 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Online social networks $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01983801 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 700 1 $a Liu, Jianhong, $d 1954- $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Liang, Bin, 1972- $t Chinese netizens' opinions on death sentences $d Ann Arbor : University of Michigan Press, 2021 $z 9780472129287 $w (DLC) 2021028043 830 0 $a China understandings today. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018023908.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6B511A86DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
