Features: The modernization of Chinese criminal law is an academic topic that China is particularly concerned about at present. However, research on this issue has not only not been carried out in-depth and systematically, but no specialized criminal law books on the topic have been published. Since Western countries took the lead in stepping onto the path of criminal law modernization, to this day, Western criminal rule of law, whether in value shaping, institutional design, or actual judicial operations, has become mature. For Chinese scholars who are struggling to find a way forward for the modernization of Chinese criminal law, these highly attractive modern Western criminal law systems have undoubtedly become a remedy to help Chinese criminal law break free from traditional shackles and move towards modernization. This book starts from the context of civil society in Western criminal law modernization, and by reviewing the history of criminal law modernization in China and abroad, it outlines the framework of the construction of Chinese criminal law modernization from a macro perspective.
