The main features and target audience of this book are as follows:
First, comprehensive content. This book includes all the criminal law amendments, resolutions, legislative interpretations, and other judicial documents issued by the national legislative body since the (amended Criminal Procedure Law) on March 17, 1996, and the (amended Criminal Law) on March 14, 1997. It also covers documents issued by the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and other relevant departments either individually or jointly.
Second, innovative format. Instead of merely compiling the decisions, amendments, legislative interpretations, and judicial interpretations related to the and of the "two laws" as an "index" or simply placing them after the relevant legal articles, this book conducts a thorough analysis and research of the modified, supplemented, and interpreted content. It carefully supplements or adds page notes while maintaining the integrity of the "two laws." It also provides a glossary index at the end of each article in the Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law based on legislative spirit and judicial interpretations. Additionally, it outlines a list of criminal offenses under the specific articles of the Criminal Law and marks these offenses with their corresponding article numbers.
Third, concise and practical. This book is primarily intended for use by courts, procuratorates, public security organs, judges, procurators, police officers, and lawyers in handling criminal cases and drafting legal documents. It can also serve as a reference tool for legal researchers, educators, and the public in legal education. The editors aim to ensure that readers can not only quickly and intuitively grasp the amendments, supplements, and improvements made by the national legislative body to the relevant articles after the "two laws" took effect, as well as the specific judicial interpretations by the judiciary, but also directly cite the specific provisions of the amended laws in their legal documents.
Fourth, well-structured. This manual is divided into six parts: Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law, Criminal Law Amendments, Decisions of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Legislative Interpretations, Judicial Interpretations and Judicial Business Documents, and Appendices. The "Judicial Interpretations and Judicial Business Documents" follow the chapter structure of the Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure Law, with each category of documents arranged in chronological order of creation or issuance. The "Appendices" include a list of criminal offenses under the Criminal Law and an overview of the amendments and improvements to the Criminal Law, making them easy to consult and compare.
