Features: Criminal policy is the soul of criminal legislation and criminal justice. In a rule-of-law society, how to handle the relationship between criminal policy and criminal rule of law is an important issue. Liszt once said, "Criminal law must be determined according to law is an insurmountable boundary for criminal policy," which we should always remember. In the discussion of criminal policy in our country, "strict crackdown" is an unavoidable topic and one that we must face. China has been implementing the strict crackdown for 20 years, and now it is time to review and reflect on it. This book examines China's criminal policy from the perspective of the strict crackdown criminal policy. The book consists of an introduction and main body. The introduction is titled "The Pros and Cons of Strict Crackdown," which is my overall evaluation of the strict crackdown criminal policy. It is undeniable that under specific historical conditions, the strict crackdown has played a certain role in deterring crime and maintaining social stability. However, the strict crackdown also has limitations and shortcomings. How to justify it within the discourse of the rule of law today is a question worth considering.
