CHINA s Economic Growth and the Role of Criminal JUSTICE Agency

While China achieved the fastest economic growth in the world since it actively adopted market economy after its economic reform, it also saw increase in various crimes. There is very little research done on the Minis-try of public security of the people’s republic of China, but based on the previous research, the types of crimes can be summed up as following. Firstly, the crimes in China are becoming organized and are becoming a commercialized profession. Secondly, the Chinese crime organizations are covertly managing their fund circulations through 3rd party bank accounts and virtual accounts on the internet. Thirdly, every time a new type of industry emerges, a new type of crime exploiting the industry grows rapidly. Meanwhile, under the Chinese planned economy, the MPS had a major role on many components of social life in China. For example, the relationship among the MPS, the prosecutors and the court clearly shows that the MPS is relatively higher in status, and its authority is encroaching the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People’s republic of China, China administration of Taxation, and China Administration of Industry and Commerce, and is in need for a change through a reform. Meanwhile, after achieving a rapid economic growth since the 1960’s (83.1%), South Korea ranked first in human rights protection and international policing cooperation in the “Crime Index for Country 2015 Mid-Year”. The authority of China’s MPS is a part of national administrative authority, which comes from the people. Therefore, one must consider whence the authority exercised by the MPS derives. Here are some problems of MPS identified in this research. Firstly, the Chinese MPS is inefficient in tasks that utilizes human resources within the jurisdiction. Secondly, it is difficult to communicate the information related to crimes collected by the MPS efficiently. Thirdly, the MPS has limited ability in cutting the criminal funds. Fourthly, the MPS fails to fully cooperate in criminal investigations. Fifthly, MPS demonstrates an incomplete cooperation in Crime prevention tasks. Therefore, to keep up with the rapidly grown economy, various discussions on the role of MPS and an inter-national cooperation on the safety of people will become necessary.
