This dissertation, "Surreal Estate: Hong Kong's Property Sector and White-collar Crime Discourse: Y Yujing Fun." by Yu-jing, Fun, 范優晶, was obtained from The University of Hong Kong (Pokfulam, Hong Kong) and is being sold pursuant to Creative Commons: Attribution 3.0 Hong Kong License. The content of this dissertation has not been altered in any way. We have altered the formatting in order to facilitate the ease of printing and reading of the dissertation. All rights not granted by the above license are retained by the author. Abstract: It has been claimed by some that Hong Kong, the world's freest economy, is without corruption or other kinds of white-collar crime. Statistical sources suggest that these crimes are indeed rare in the city. This study examined those claims by looking at the practices of Hong Kong's real estate industry, specifically through the lens of a case study on 39 Conduit Road. The property development known as 39 Conduit Road became the centre of controversy in June 2010 when the developer, Henderson Land, was accused of market manipulation. The study found that many common practices in the real estate industry, such as intimidation and deception, could constitute an abuse of power by real estate developers. The abuse of power, especially when done in the course of an occupation, is a fundamental part of the sociological discourse of white-collar crime. The study concluded therefore that it was not that white-collar crime did not exist in Hong Kong but more that these behaviours were structurally rendered invisible. The study located the failure to observe these abuses in the city's power structure where the local government used its economic policy of laissez faire to turn issues into non-issues, and in its legal culture where ambiguity in the law was construed as a right to act.

Although official propaganda emphasizes the Chinese Dream as the dream of all Chinese, the opportunities of achieving the prosperity by legal means are distributed unequally. Crime and the Chinese Dream reveals how people on the margins of Chinese society find their way to the Chinese Dream through illegal or deviant behaviours. The case studies in this book include corrupt doctors in public hospitals in Beijing, fraudsters in a village called ‘cake uncles’, illegal motorcycle taxi drivers in Guangzhou, drug users being ‘re-educated’ in detention centres, and internet addicts who are treated as criminals by the system. Despite the patriotic and collectivistic tint of the official dream metaphor, the contributors to this volume show that the Chinese Dream is essentially a state capitalist dream, which is embedded within the problems and opportunities of capitalism, as well as a dream of control. ‘An original and important contribution to comparative criminology, international studies, and crime and justice research in China, this book highlights the ironies present in the American Dream that exist in the Chinese Dream as well. It contains diverse research topics that separate ideology from reality, and Bakken’s excellent introduction frames them in the literatures on social problems and social inequality.’ —Henry N. Pontell, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York ‘This is an outstanding collection of essays which importantly enlarges the terms of debate on crime in China. It reveals how China is complex, not only because of its internal social and economic diversity, but also because of integration into global capitalism, with all its inherent inequalities and commodification.’ —Bill Hebenton, Centre for Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Manchester

Sophie just wants to even the score for those who need justice. Binge on this award-winning series of NINE books bundled into a limited-time box set for maximum reading pleasure! You can’t read just one! WIRED IN: The tale of Sophie’s development of a cutting-edge rogue computer program, DAVID, and her discovery of a cyber vigilante whom she may, or may not, be able to bring to justice. WIRED ROGUE: An untouchable cult deep in the jungle has a leader who might be a stone-cold wife killer, and his children slave labor. Only Sophie can get them out and find their missing mothers—and along the way, solve the puzzle of The Ghost. WIRED HARD: A buried royal Hawaiian island in Lahaina on Maui attracts mysterious burglary attempts, and gets deadly fast once Sophie’s on the case. As she solves a twisted murder with ties to the archaeological dig, she must also tangle with a nightmare from her past. WIRED DARK: Tech security specialist Sophie Ang returns to Maui, working alongside dynamic partner Jake Dunn to solve a series of bizarre and escalating threats against a rocker with a beach mansion. But soon, catching a crazed stalker becomes the least of Sophie’s problems. A deadly enemy is hell-bent to take her down, along with anyone she cares about. WIRED DAWN: Sophie Ang goes “off the grid” into the remote valley of Kalalau on Kaua`i, where she stumbles across the disappearance of a young boy. As she races against time to save him, uncovering ugly secrets hidden in the heart of the jungle, the events she tried to flee on Oahu gather momentum. Special Agent Marcella Scott wades in to deal with what a cyber vigilante left behind, trying to clear her friend from a murder charge. WIRED JUSTICE: Sophie Ang’s lovable dog Ginger has a nose for murder and leads her tech sleuth mistress through perilous lava fields on the Big Island to a terrible discovery. Sophie is plunged into a new investigation with dynamic partner, Jake Dunn, searching for a missing young woman who is just one of many. Sparks fly between the two as they dig into layers of deception and darkness, rousing the attention of true evil. WIRED SECRET: Palm trees, volcanoes, and black sand beaches are the backdrop for murder when security specialist Sophie and her dog Ginger are swept up in a multi-layered case on the Big Island, working with a US Marshal to protect an important witness. WIRED FEAR: Tech sleuth Sophie, her lovable dog Ginger, and her partner, Jake Dunn, tackle a case involving Hawaii’s famous hula festival even as the return of a deadly relative threatens to tear apart the fragile life Sophie’s trying to build. WIRED COURAGE: Sophie’s darkest fears come to pass as what’s most precious to her is snatched away. She must dig deep and travel far to defeat an enemy close to home. "Can't stop reading these thrillers!" ~P, Goodreads
