The "Foreign Criminal Code Translation Series"
Abstract: This translation series is committed to tracking the cutting-edge dynamics of criminal legislation in both legal systems, promptly introducing the latest achievements and value concepts of criminal legislation in the world to the Chinese public. "A stone from a foreign mountain can polish the jade of one's own." We are already living in the information age! We must maximize the acquisition of information! Therefore, extensively and comprehensively absorbing the experience of foreign criminal legislation is of great value for "practicing the rule of law in practice and building a socialist country under the rule of law," improving China's criminal legislation and judiciary, or promoting the study of criminal law in China. Finland, renowned as the "Land of a Thousand Lakes," is becoming one of the most competitive countries in the world with its vibrant economy and minimalist government system, and this remarkable achievement is closely linked to its advanced legal system. This code showcases Finland's unique criminal system. The mature legislative techniques, scientifically balanced crime-punishment allocation, lenient and humane criminal policies, and especially the legislative spirit that reflects the protection of human rights and the strict prevention of corruption demonstrated in this code are considered a model of modern criminal law.
