This research draws on in-depth interviews with 36 frontline police officers across various departments in Beijing, Shanghai, Wenzhou, and Yiwu. The objective is to comprehend China’s regulatory pyramid combating cyberfraud offenses by exploring the police’s insights and hands-on practices of ‘polycentric regulation as a way to control large-scale cybercrime’. The findings are examined through a responsive policing pyramid that adjusts policing enforcement in a responsive approach, which encompasses (1) capacity building by public relations officers, (2) situational crime prevention by surveillance centres, (3) community policing cautions by community police, and (4) incapacitative policing by antifraud, financial intelligence, and immigration units. While China’s responsive policing in cyberfraud prevention may yield immediate results by escalating through the pyramid, it is important to keep public trust in the police and enforcement. The study concludes by emphasizing the due procedure in incapacitative policing, offering actionable strategies to fortify China’s cyberfraud governance through responsive policing.
