Features: As a criminology that takes criminal law as its research object, its theoretical expression includes both the interpretation of legal provisions and a simple explanation of legal principles. The former is normative criminology, while the latter is theoretical criminology. In terms of the relationship between legal provisions and legal principles, legal provisions are the normative existence of criminal law, while legal principles are its conceptual existence. Legal principles are embedded in legal provisions but also transcend them, hence they are more valued. This book can be categorized under theoretical criminology, as it takes legal principles as its foundation rather than legal provisions. It extracts legal principles from legal provisions, making legal principles independent of legal provisions, and provides a systematic exposition of legal principles, thereby defining the scope of knowledge in the general theory of criminal law.
