This volume presents a more nuanced picture of legal regression under Xi Jinping. It combines a wide range of analytical perspectives and themes to investigate questions that link institutional changes within the court system and legal environment with developments in criminal procedure law.

The first part of the book investigates topics that contextualise institutional and procedural aspects of the law with a focus on various actors in the judiciary and other state and party organs. The second part of the book shifts the perspective to three controversial themes of criminal procedure reform: pre-trial custody review, live witness testimony in court, and criminal reconciliation. By shedding light on performance evaluation of judges and interactions of courts and media, the final part of the book introduces two sets of contextual factors relevant to the adjudication of criminal cases.

This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex dynamics between institutional changes, legal environment, and criminal procedure law in China under Xi Jinping's leadership. It offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the Chinese legal system and its role in shaping the country's criminal justice system.
