Features: The pre-trial procedure holds a significant position in criminal procedure. Its overall framework is not only related to whether the prosecuting authorities can effectively pursue crimes but also to the protection of the rights of the suspected individuals. Therefore, studying the criminal pre-trial procedure is of great importance. This book conducts a comparative examination of the criminal pre-trial procedures in other countries and regions, explores the fundamental principles of the criminal pre-trial procedure, and systematically investigates issues such as the initiation of the criminal pre-trial procedure, the relationship between investigative authorities and prosecution, coercive measures and investigative actions, prosecution, dismissal without prosecution, the discretion of prosecutors, and the role of legal defense in the criminal pre-trial procedure.
