This article describes a Chinese corporate policing model.
Abstract
Police officers in Western countries do not as a rule run day-to-day security operations in private organizations, Chinese police, however, are directly involved in corporate security management. Responding to criticisms that comparative studies in the West have overemphasized general and macro-sociological analyses, this article introduces a specific Chinese corporate policing model. The corporation is managed through a score-keeping system, in which security scores are concretely established, and uses a comprehensive approach that includes technical, formal, administrative, educational and community control measures. This model suggests that responsibility and comprehensiveness are important factors in controlling crime and delinquency. Saturated community policing involving residential communities, corporate communities, educational institutions, and social and religious service organizations is more effective than simple community policing.
