【摘要】：《中国评论》(1872—1901)是十九世纪末期来华外国人所创办的重要英文期刊,其内容绝大部分有关中国,蕴含丰富的中国社会信息。中国法律的实施、审判权归属、刑事诉讼各个阶段及监狱状况等都受到关注。与之前同类期刊如《中国丛报》(1832—1851)相比,《中国评论》的视角和观点已发生变化:对于中国刑事司法的关注度降低,广泛、公开地处决死刑犯的信息已是鲜见,对于非法刑讯的报道骤减,地方官审判不力、失职渎职等的描述也很少。十九世纪下半叶中国着手引入西方制度,中西关系暂时缓和,刊物所在地香港独特的地缘和文化环境,编作者众多且身份多元和办刊的开放性,是《中国评论》不再一概否定和抨击中国司法、而代之以既有抨击又肯定历史进步的评述的原因。
[Abstract]:China Review 1872-1901 is an important English journal founded by foreigners who came to China in the late 19th century. Most of its contents are related to China and contain abundant Chinese social information.The enforcement of Chinese law, the attribution of jurisdiction, the stages of criminal proceedings and the prison conditions have attracted much attention.Compared with the previous journals such as China Cong Bao (1832-1851), the perspectives and viewpoints of the China Review have changed: there is less attention to criminal justice in China, and there is little information about the widespread and public execution of those facing the death penalty.Reports of illegal torture have plummeted, local officials have failed to try and dereliction of duty has been poorly described.In the second half of the 19th century, China began to introduce western systems, temporarily eased relations between China and the West, and the publication was based in Hong Kong's unique geographical and cultural environment, with numerous editors, diverse identities, and openness to running the magazine.It is the reason why China Review no longer totally negates and criticizes Chinese judicature, but also affirms the historical progress.
