- Abstract
Liberal theory embraces the notion that humans, by nature, are good and morally ethical while at the same time institutions of government can be corrupt or unjust. Neoliberalism, a theoretical outgrowth of liberalism, holds government institutions should be limited in their intrusion into regulating business activities and should assure social stability for the benefit of economic growth. There are many tense issues that arise when considering police institutions as they act when dealing with the members of the community they are supposed to serve. These issues range from public protests to false confessions to excessive force to corruption. These issues also transcend borders and exist from state to state and country to country. This study will apply neoliberal theory as it applies to China and the United States and the respective public reactions to such abuses as false confessions and its destructive aftermath expressed through social media.
