Each specific unit crime's constitution and proceedings is self-contained, consisting of 8 sections: legal provisions, crime definition, crime constitution, criminal penalties, public prosecution/self-prosecution, civil lawsuits in conjunction with criminal cases, case filing, investigation and prosecution, and court jurisdiction and trial. The sections on crime constitution and criminal penalties extensively cite China's current criminal judicial interpretations to enhance their authority and applicability, while addressing the flaw of other criminal books that focus more on conviction than sentencing; Part 3, Principles of Punishment and Preventive Measures for Unit Crimes, evaluates the international principles of punishment for corporate crimes and China's regulations on the punishment of unit crimes, and proposes relevant measures to prevent unit crimes. To highlight the subject of unit crimes, in addition to offenses that can only be committed by units, the book adds the term "unit" before each crime.
