Biography
Elaine Jeffreys lectures in China Studies at the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia.
'Jeffreys' study of the Chinese policing of prostitution is a very important empirical contribution to the study of Chinese policing and Chinese perspectives on prostitution. Her approach also challenges the applicability of liberal concepts of sex work and prostitutes' rights to contexts beyond China.' - The China Review
'Jeffrey's book is a must-read for all China scholars because as China transitions so must the academic field that professionally interprets it.' - China Information
