Features: Incorporating the security measure aspects of labor reeducation, as well as related laws and judicial practices with security measure characteristics, into criminal legislation and unifying them within the Criminal Code inevitably involves modifying and improving the criminal law. This is a monumental task that cannot be accomplished overnight. Given the differing views among domestic criminal law scholars regarding security measures, some scholars hold overly one-sided or even completely erroneous perceptions of security measures. Additionally, the academic community is divided on issues such as the abolition or retention of the labor reeducation system, the nature of labor reeducation, and whether it is security measure-oriented. The author believes that a relatively in-depth understanding of the security measure system originating from Western capitalist countries is essential. Based on years of research and practice, the author offers a fresh interpretation of the concept of "security measure." The analysis is thorough, the perspectives are novel, and the book holds certain theoretical and practical significance.
