Popis: The chapter focuses on the police oversight mechanism in Hong Kong, on top of introducing its operational characteristics, we would also state how and why the ethos of “professionalism “was marketed as the distinguished merit of effective police oversight in the British colonial and early China SAR era. We would show how the reforms could be stagnated by the administration, with the shifting of public attention, and explaining how the mechanism is deviated from the mainstream model of civilian oversight as addressed in policing literature, due to the “scarecrow” effect mentioned above.
