Features: The China Criminal Law Cases and Theoretical Research (6 volumes) is a revised version of the 9-volume series with the same title, published in April 2001. It covers the basic principles and systems of the general part of criminal law, as well as the crimes in each chapter of the specific part of criminal law. It is a casebook that integrates practical analysis and 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 updated 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 crime, including relevant criminal law provisions, judicial interpretations, guiding opinions, and typical cases, to help readers grasp the issue more comprehensively and from multiple perspectives.
The China Criminal Law Cases and Theoretical Research (9 volumes), 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 areas, it was necessary to incorporate these new criminal law norms and theoretical research findings. After consulting with Legal Publishing House, 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 for analysis. It strives to provide a comprehensive, accurate, and sufficient discussion of criminal law issues in judicial practice, aiming 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 as references after the theoretical discussions to help readers grasp the issue more comprehensively and from multiple perspectives.
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 newly updated 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 crime, including relevant criminal law provisions, judicial interpretations, guiding opinions, and typical cases.
Regarding the writing team, it is generally the original authors who revise the parts they contributed to 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 to take on the task.
After the revision, to facilitate readers and maintain the relative completeness and relevance of the book's sections, we have reduced it from the original 9 volumes to 6 volumes.
