Features: The "China Criminal Law Cases and Theoretical Research" (6-volume set) is a revised version of the same-titled series (9-volume set) published in April 2001. It covers the basic principles and systems of the general part of criminal law, as well as the offenses in each chapter of the specific part of criminal law. It is a casebook that integrates practical analysis with theoretical discussion, balancing judicial demonstration and theoretical research. In response to the new developments in legislation, judicial practice, and theoretical research since its first publication, this revised edition makes the following adjustments to the original series:
In the "Cases" section, newly judicial cases are collected to replace or supplement the original cases, ensuring that the research material fully reflects the current judicial situation.
In the "Problems" section, new issues emerging in judicial practice are discussed, providing references and guiding opinions for judicial practice.
In the "Discussion" section, the original content is revised based on the latest criminal law provisions, legislative interpretations, judicial interpretations, and theoretical developments, striving for deeper research.
A "Related Links" section is added after each system or offense, including relevant criminal law provisions, judicial interpretations, guiding opinions, and typical cases, allowing readers to grasp the issue more comprehensively and from multiple dimensions.
The "China Criminal Law Cases and Theoretical Research" (9-volume set), published in April 2001, received praise and popularity from scholars, especially judicial practitioners, due to its comprehensive content, practicality, and high theoretical level. Although it was reprinted in September 2001, it remained in high demand. Many readers expressed their desire for a new edition through various channels. Considering that since its first publication in April 2001, the national legislative body has made significant amendments and supplements to the current criminal law through criminal law amendments and legislative interpretations, and the highest judicial organs have issued a series of judicial interpretations to meet the needs of criminal judicial practice, while criminal law theory has also made substantial progress in many aspects, it became necessary to incorporate these new criminal law norms and theoretical research findings. After consulting with Legal Press, we decided to revise and reprint the book.
This comprehensive and systematic revision not only incorporates the new achievements of criminal law theory in China over the past two and a half years but also particularly focuses on the current criminal law and its subsequent single criminal laws, criminal law amendments, relevant legislative interpretations, and judicial interpretations as the basis, striving to analyze and discuss criminal law issues in judicial practice comprehensively, accurately, and thoroughly, thereby further enhancing the practical and academic value of the book. At the same time, this revision also appends relevant criminal law provisions, judicial interpretations, guiding opinions, and typical cases as references after the theoretical discussions, allowing readers to grasp the issue more comprehensively and from multiple dimensions.
The scope of this revision includes:
(1) Revising the original content based on the latest criminal law provisions, legislative interpretations, judicial interpretations, and theoretical developments, and striving for deeper research.
(2) Collecting newly judicial cases to replace or supplement the original cases, ensuring that the research material fully reflects the current judicial situation.
(3) Discussing new issues emerging in judicial practice to provide references and guiding opinions for judicial practice.
(4) Adding a "Related Links" section after each system or offense, including relevant criminal law provisions, judicial interpretations, guiding opinions, and typical cases.
In terms of the writing team, the principle is that the original authors revise the parts they were responsible for in the original book to maintain theoretical consistency and continuity between the revised and original versions, and to facilitate theoretical innovation and development. For the newly added sections, due to the urgency of time, we invited some doctoral students with strong research capabilities from the Criminal Law Department of Renmin University of China's Law School to take on the task.
After the revision, for the convenience of readers and to maintain the relative completeness and relevance of the content in each part of the book, we changed the book from the original 9 volumes to 6 volumes.
