This book documents a systematic investigation into various aspects of policing in the People's Republic of China, including its scholarship, idea, origin, history, education, culture, reform, and theory. It approaches the study of Chinese policing from an indigenous perspective, informed by local empirical data. In proposing an innovative theory of community policing entitled «Police Power as a Social Resource Theory», the book seeks to look at crime as a personal problem, and police as a social resource, from the perspective of the people and not the state.

This is a factual account of the life of an expat Officer in the Royal Hong Kong Police who helped to maintain law and order in the thriving Crown Colony prior to Chinese rule, an era of endemic corruption which resulted in the near mutiny of a 20,000 strong force. The author, pseudonym Jack Humphreys, served as a Bomban, an Inspector of Police, during this critical period of British history. He describes his experiences walking the Hong Kong beat, confronting illegal immigration, leading an SAS-trained anti-terrorist team, setting up a covert Operations Unit of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau and then commanding a Regional Intelligence Unit, in a 20,000 strong force with around 600 expatriate officers. On Christmas Day 1978 Jack and his anti-terrorist team were featured on international television as they landed from an RAF helicopter on the Vietnamese refugee freighter "Huey Fong" to safely extract a Police Tactical Unit platoon delayed on board for over 24 hours. The Yorkshireman was never far from dispute and controversy, being scapegoated into military and police disciplinary tribunals, and courageously sticking by an SAS colleague prosecuted for Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm and Possession of an Offensive Weapon. On conviction the soldier received six strokes of the cane at Stanley Prison before release and repatriation to the UK. That soldier was Pete Winner, author of the international best-seller "Soldier I, An SAS Hero". Jack supported Pete throughout the trial, helping him retain his military career and eventually return to the SAS Regiment where he engaged in the Iranian Embassy Siege and the Falklands War. He returned to uniform for two years and during periods of exceptional success against narcotics trafficking received threats from shadowy triad and police figures suggestive of corruption within the British administrative �lite. After serving a further two years with the Special Duties Unit Jack transferred to command the covert Operations Unit of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau as a Detective Chief Inspector, countering 'Big Circle' gangs from Mainland China and arresting high-ranking triad officials before moving to develop a Regional Intelligence Unit in the New Territories.

Les Bird joined the Hong Kong Marine Police in 1976 during a period of rapid change in one of the British Empire's few remaining colonies, and witnessed the last years of the hard-working, hard-drinking colonial policemen handing out rough justice in the World of Suzie Wong. He led his men in combat with the growing organized crime in the years leading up to the handover of the colony back to China in 1997 and was one of a handful of senior officers instrumental in dealing with highly sensitive issues including a flood of refugees fleeing Vietnam and the increase in the smuggling of guns, drugs, people, and luxury goods either to or from Communist China. Filled with gripping stories spanning 20 years, A Small Band of Men follows Bird and his cohorts including his mentor, "Diamond" Don Bishop, an eccentric officer whose volatile temper, larger-than-life personality, and overbearing presence was a major influence in Bird's career. These tales provide a fascinating insight into the intersection of cultures that is Hong Kong. Supported by his second-in-command, Joe Poon, Bird gained the trust of his band of men to such an extent that they were willing to follow him into danger, even at the risk of their own lives.

For its earliest promoters, Hong Kong was an island 'bespread with palaces, a beautifully and well ordered city, a miracle of British enterprise and dormant power' at the edge of a crumbling Chinese Empire. This 'capital of Anglo-China', as some of them called it, was a place where Chinese and Europeans could freely exchange goods and ideas under a benevolent and progressive British rule. Nineteenth-century Hong Kong was all of that. But it was also a struggling frontier settlement, troubled by crime and war, divided by race, and periodically rocked by controversy. Through a succession of experiments in government, early British officials sought ways of managing a politically complex Chinese population, who, though essential to Hong Kong's economic success, seemed intractable to traditional colonial methods. The uneasy solutions that emerged combined heavy policing of the lower classes and shaky collaboration with a burgeoning Chinese merchant elite. Anglo-China traces the development of colonial rule in early British Hong Kong. Drawing on a variety of hitherto neglected sources, the book also explores how the daily practice of government affected the lives of people in the region – and how they in turn sought to shape colonial rule.
