| Abstract | Using my recent research on police/business and crime solicitation posters in Guangzhou as examples, this chapter reflects on the challenges, opportunities and ethics I encounter in doing ethnographic research on police in the Chinese close-door context. I argue that while the political conservativeness and authoritarian nature of Chinese police pose many difficulties in studying police and policing, the omnipresent evidence of what the police have done and what they fail to do in public spaces provide an unique opportunity for a sociological inquiry of policing in the country. Although the method of observing the traces of police activity in public space can, to some extent, circumvent the difficulty of approaching the police, researchers have to deal with many other challenges and related ethical issues on the relations between researchers and the police, the political pressure faced by researchers and publishing research findings. |
