The book analyzes and summarizes the research on the cause systems of public functionary crimes and the prevention and countermeasure systems by Chinese scholars, as well as specifically analyzes some specific measures within the prevention system. In the criminal law issues review of public functionary crimes, the book specifically divides public functionary crimes into three categories: corruption and bribery crimes, dereliction of duty crimes, and crimes of public officials abusing their power to infringe upon the personal rights and democratic rights of citizens, providing thematic reviews for each category.
