Features: This book takes the civil law criminal jurisprudence as the main line, while also incorporating Anglo-American criminal theory, introducing modern criminal law and its theories, and evaluating them in the context of history and reality. The concept and classification of modern criminal law differ from traditional theories, and this book establishes its overall structure based on this foundation, while sorting out the genealogy of modern criminal jurisprudence in the section on the evolution of criminal law systems and theories. The part on criminal theory systematically introduces the new developments in traditional categories, while also reviewing the theory of objective attribution, as well as the criminal construction theory, causation theory, and justifications for (excuses for illegality) and special responsibility systems in Anglo-American criminal law. The legal consequences of crime establish a new mindset of coexistence between punishment and security measures, and drawing on Anglo-American punishment theory, it offers a new interpretation of the purpose of punishment.
