A study that examines the misuse of forensic psychiatry custody in China since the late 1950s as an adjunct means - alongside the legal authorities' more frequent use of arrest, trial and imprisonment - of punishing and silencing political dissidents, spiritual nonconformists, whistleblowers and other critics of official corruption or malfeasance.
