Features: The "China Criminal Law Cases and Theoretical Research" (6-volume set) is a revised version of the same-named 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, discussions are conducted on new issues emerging in judicial practice, 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 in criminal law, 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, to enable 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 revisions 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 was necessary to incorporate these new criminal law norms and research findings. After consulting with Legal Press, we decided to revise and republish 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 in a comprehensive, accurate, and sufficient manner to further enhance the practical and academic value of the book. At the same time, this revision also attaches relevant criminal law provisions, judicial interpretations, guiding opinions, and typical cases after the theoretical discussions as reference materials to enable 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, striving for deeper research.
(2) Collecting new criminal law 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 written sections, considering the urgency of time, we invited some doctoral students with strong research capabilities from the Criminal Law Department of the Law School of Renmin University of China 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 it from the original 9 volumes to 6 volumes.
