Features: Criminal Procedure Law summarizes the experiences of multiple similar textbooks and incorporates the latest dynamics and research findings in criminal procedure law both domestically and internationally. This revision introduces innovations in both format and content. The format and structure are novel. Based on a clear explanation of fundamental concepts, categories, and principles of criminal procedure, it divides the process into pre-trial procedures and trial procedures, emphasizing the trial-centered approach. Its content and structural arrangement differ from previous textbooks. The content is more philosophical. During the writing process, following the trend of criminal procedure law evolving from a commentary-based approach to a rational one, we adhered to the scientific development perspective, focusing on the three key elements of the subject, object, and act in the content arrangement, highlighting the subject of the lawsuit and expanding the content on legal acts. In the writing of each chapter, rational thinking is consistently maintained, such as in the principles of investigation, modern prosecution, and trial principles. It is practice-oriented. To highlight the practical aspects of criminal procedure law, after explaining the basic concepts, theories, and procedures, it provides a detailed discussion on common and easily occurring issues in legal proceedings, as well as methods for addressing these issues and operational procedures, to facilitate the application of knowledge in practice.
