In China, since criminology has been established as a secondary discipline under the primary discipline of public security science, the People's Public Security University of China, along with its criminology program, has assumed a distinctive and pivotal role. The university boasts a dedicated School of Criminology, which offers a comprehensive curriculum spanning undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels, making it one of the few premier institutions in China specializing in criminology education and research. Addressing the critical theme of advancing criminology in China, including the role and mission of the criminology discipline at the People's Public Security University of China, Professor Wu Zongxian has conducted extensive contemplation and proffered several proposals. His insights are aimed at contributing to the progress and enhancement of criminology in China.
