  17. History Focus Week Crime and Punishment made by Warren Hui

  18. Introduction • Crime and punishment has differences with other Asian countries • Hong Kong deals less severely to prisoners then most other countries • In this PowerPoint I’m going to compare Hong Kong’s punishments with other Asian countries

  19. There are lots of different types of crimes, the main ones are: abusing and selling drugs, murder, theft Different types and level of crime will result in different punishments Crimes

  20. Punishments • A hundred years ago, lots of pirates and other criminals were beheaded in public • Nowadays the death sentence is not very common • Going to jail and paying fines are the most common punishment • Corporal punishments are now banned

  21. Corporal Punishments In Hong Kong • Hong Kong served punishments in canes • Caning was abolished in 1990

  22. Prisons in Hong Kong • The Hong Kong prison system does a good job keeping prisoners busy • The system focuses on discipline and control • Prisoners do tasks like making cotton balls and envelope making • The whole of the prison and prisoners are clean and orderly

  23. Comparing Prisons With Other Asian Countries • Singapore-Prisons are known for poor conditions and human right abuses • China-Lots of prisoners has died in prisons because of ill treatment • Thailand-has some of the worst prisons

  24. Punishments in Other Countries • Caning and hanging is still present in Singapore • In China, there is torture and ill treatment in prison • In Japan prisoners can get beaten and starved

  25. Illegal Immigrants

  26. How did other countries handle the Illegal Immigrants?

  27. Introduction Some countries held the Illegal Immigrants as prisoners and some countries let them live there but they would normally be sent Back to where they came from.

  28. America and Canada If some Illegal Immigrants has lived in America for a period of time, the government would let them stay there. If they were caught by the border of America then they would be sent back to where they came from.

  29. Australia The Illegal Immigrants caught in Australia would be put in detention camps or something like a prison. They would be sent back to where they came from as well.

  30. Illegal Immigrants SHOULD be sent home. We cannot allow them to have jobs, they will do anything for a low price. Hong Kong people will have no chances We cannot keep them in camp forever. If we let them stay, more and more people will want to come. We don’t know who they are. They could kill. They could rebel, they do not like staying in such bad conditions. China does not like them, we give them no sympathy. There is violence and murder in detention camps, it is unsafe for them.

  31. Illegal Immigrants Should NOT be sent home. The United Kingdom signed the United Nations an agreement for Hong Kong to keep all refugees. They could be persecuted in their home country for their beliefs. They came to flee war, sending them back is like sending them to their deaths. It will be difficult for them to live normally after running away, they will be treated like Traitors. They just want a better life, they are of no harm to us.

  32. Conclusion We conclude that the Refugees should be sent home. In 1997, Hong Kong would be returned to China, and the Chinese do not have sympathy on these refugees. A lot of them are Ethnic Chinese, and they had just went to Vietnam for a better opportunity. They have now arrived at Hong Kong for a better opportunity, and not Political Refugees. They should be returned to Vietnam. The only ones that should be allowed to stay could be the real refugees that have been proven of being persecuted. This is what happened in the real situation. All the proven refugees were allowed to stay in Hong Kong for freedom or immigrate to another European country.
