Sentencing for Drug Offences in Hong Kong: An Overview

Stefan H. C. Lo Ian Dobinson Wing Hong Chui

In this article the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the sentences handed down by the courts over the past decade for various offences involving drugs such as cannabis, opium, heroin, cocaine, methaqualone (mandrax), methamphetamine hydrochloride (ICE), and methylenedioxy methamphetamine (MDMA or ecstacy). The authors consider general principles of sentencing and draw out distinct principles and factors specific to drug offences and offenders. They also identify the range of sentences given for trafficking, possession and manufacturing of drugs. This analysis provides useful information for legal practitioners, magistrates and judges alike when dealing with drug-related offences in Hong Kong.

The Mark of an Ex-Prisoner: Perceived Discrimination and Self-Stigma of Young Men after Prison in Hong Kong

Deviant Behavior (2013)

Wing Hong Chui Kevin Kwok‐yin Cheng

The stigma of being an ex-prisoner can lead to self-stigmatizing beliefs and hinder reintegration. For young ex-prisoners, this is particularly challenging as they need not only to transition from prison to society but from adolescence to adulthood. This study explores the experiences of discrimination and self-stigma of 16 young men recently released from Hong Kong prisons. Drawing on qualitative in-depth interviews, it reveals that participants perceived themselves as facing discrimination, mainly from prospective employers. Self-stigma was more salient with regard to lower self-worth and shame and embarrassment. Most adopted a "don't ask, don't tell" strategy in disclosing their identity as ex-prisoners. As very little research has been conducted on the experiences of returning offenders in Hong Kong, this study highlights the challenges of reentry.

If ‘Something Works’ is the Answer, What is the Question?

Michael Israel Wing Hong Chui

The aims of the paper are to present the argument for pluralistic evaluation, by outlining and assessing the various measures that have been and might be used in the United Kingdom, and to question the value of relying on reconviction rates. Most evaluation studies of offender programmes in the community and in prison have been based on single measures, mostly the recidivism rate. Some studies have evaluated the effectiveness of particular programmes in terms of the costs or of changing the attitudes or addressing the needs and problems of offenders. However, no single measurement can reveal the full picture of the effectiveness of a particular correctional programme. This paper criticizes current evaluation-driven practice - only do things that can be measured and divert resources from delivery to fairly unimaginative evaluation. It concludes that commitment to pluralistic evaluation in principle is often compromised in practice.

Challenges Facing Young Men Returning from Incarceration in Hong Kong

The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice (2014)

Wing Hong Chui Kevin Kwok‐yin Cheng

Abstract While prisoner re‐entry has garnered increasing interest in Western scholarship, scarce attention has been paid to the situation in Hong Kong, despite it possessing one of the higher imprisonment rates in Asia, and its reliance on custodial sentences to rehabilitate young offenders. Drawing upon the experiences of a sample of formerly‐incarcerated young males, this article informs on how young ex‐prisoners receive little familial/social support, and how finding legitimate employment is difficult for returning ex‐prisoners in Hong Kong. Young ex‐prisoners perceive themselves to be facing the challenges of re‐entry alone. Implications and recommendations for government and social services are discussed.

Colonial responses to youth crime in Hong Kong: Penal elitism, legitimacy and citizenship

Theoretical Criminology (2013)

Michael Adorjan Wing Hong Chui

This article examines colonial responses to youth crime in Hong Kong, focusing on the 1960s, when riots involving large numbers of youth drew concern among officials over spillover from the Cultural Revolution in Mainland China; and on the 1970s, when the Government initiated a program of state building focused on instilling citizen identification with Hong Kong, youth in particular. Elite reaction is examined through a series of Legislative Council debates, declassified official reports and governmental Annual Reports. The article argues that youth crime control in Hong Kong’s colonial context could best be understood using a penal elitist framework, one which remains influential today.
