Features: This book is a revised version of the "95" Plan textbook Criminal Law, hence the second edition. While adhering to the fundamental views of the previous edition, it has undergone significant revisions. Overall, it still takes the purpose of legal interest protection in criminal law as its core, maintaining the structure of criminal law theory—crime theory—criminal liability theory—specific theories of crime and punishment. In the area of crime theory, it adopts an objective stance, takes the theory of resultivism, and provides a substantial interpretation of the constitutive elements of crime. In terms of criminal punishment, it takes the stance of synthesisism, further clarifying the advocacy of relative retributive punishment. In this book, the author not only grounds the discussion in the realities of contemporary Chinese society but also examines the topic within the broader context of world criminal law. It evaluates Chinese theoretical doctrines, analyzes them from the perspective of scholarly debates, explains current legal provisions, and elucidates the underlying principles behind the norms. It elaborates on the key and focal points of criminal law theory while also predicting and addressing challenges that may arise or have already emerged in judicial practice. All of these aspects reflect the author's dedication and effort.
