Features: This book has the following characteristics:
First, the topic is creative. Currently published books on investigative work are often divided due to the separation of law and investigative disciplines, resulting in a common situation where legal professionals lack understanding of investigations and vice versa. This has led to most books separately discussing criminal law, criminal procedure law, investigation, and preliminary examination, making the originally systematic and unified work artificially fragmented. The arrangement of this book is a bold attempt to change this passive situation and represents the most comprehensive and systematic discussion in the current field of criminal investigation.
Second, the legal theory is in-depth and thorough, with targeted investigative methods. The book not only introduces the general theories and basic knowledge of criminal law and criminal procedure law in its writing but also focuses on analyzing and explaining key, difficult, and ambiguous points from a practical operational perspective. It proposes corresponding investigative ideas, strategies, and methods for each specific type of crime. In this regard, it can be said to be in-depth, thorough, and highly targeted.
Third, it has a broad scope of application and strong practicality. The broad scope of application refers to its suitability for investigators in departments such as criminal investigation, economic investigation, public security, drug control, fire protection, traffic management, and customs. The strong practicality refers to the book closely focusing on the realities of contemporary criminal offenses and addressing practical issues in criminal investigation work (including preliminary examination). It proposes solutions and approaches for key stages of criminal justice, such as case classification, investigation, and interrogation.
Fourth, the content is comprehensive. This primarily refers to the book covering most aspects of the criminal justice system and investigative institutions. From the concept and punishment of a crime, its characteristics, and identification, to common methods of perpetration, main investigative methods, key points of evidence collection, and interrogation points, it basically includes the entire process of criminal justice. Through reading this book, readers can understand the types of crimes in China and their investigative situations.
Fifth, the content is up-to-date. The "newness" refers to the book reflecting the latest content of contemporary criminal legislation and the latest methods of criminal investigation, as well as the new development trends in contemporary criminal justice. The laws and regulations cited in this book are up to the end of August 2002, basically fully reflecting the latest achievements in contemporary criminal law and investigation.
Sixth, the content is standardized. The (crime names) used in this book are determined by the Supreme People's Court in the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" dated December 9, 1997. Other concepts and terms are primarily from the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China," the "Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China," the "Procedures for Public Security Organs to Handle Criminal Cases," and the professional general terms used in the disciplines of criminal investigation and preliminary examination.
