Shanghai has launched a research center for job-related crimes,
aiming to draw experiences from typical cases such as the city's
pension fund scandal.
?
Jointly established by Shanghai Normal University and Shanghai
Xuhui District Procuratorate, the research center was focused on
characteristics, trends and prevention strategies of job-related
crimes.
"Launched hand-in-hand by the higher education institution and
procuratorial organ, the center is an open platform that will
combine theories with practices," said Chu Guoliang, a procurator
of the Xuhui District Procuratorate.
Theories in law, sociology, psychology, behavioral science,
ethics, political education and other fields would help to study
sample cases of job-related crimes, according to Chu.
Currently there were 37 members in the center, including nine
professors and four senior procurators.
This year, the center planned to compile a report on the public
repercussions of the pension fund scandal that embroiled at least a
dozen high-level Shanghai businessmen and former senior government
officials.
