Abstract
This article explores the functions of community, an important institution of social control in China. The specific control functions are grounded in a unique macro-control system, which is totally different from that typical of Western Countries. Policing strategies depends strongly on mass participation. Informal social control is particularly significant as it appears to play a more important role in controlling and preventing crime in Chinese society than in the Western world. Also, this article discusses strength and weakness of the Chinese approach to control of crime.
