Features: This book elaborates on a legal principle that is inherent in legal provisions and dependent on them. The norms carried by legal provisions hold a central position in this book. Starting from legal provisions and ultimately returning to them, it provides a normative examination of criminal theory. In this sense, criminal law is what this book calls normative criminal law. Normative Criminal Law is arranged in textbook format. The book is divided into four parts: Introduction to Criminal Law, General Theory of Crimes, General Theory of Punishments, and Specific Theory of Crimes and Punishments. From the general theory to the specific theory, it provides a systematic exposition of criminal law. Especially in the specific theory part, it explains each crime of criminal law individually, making the content of the book more comprehensive. Therefore, this book is part of my plan to write a textbook on criminal law. Since December 1984, when I graduated from the Master's program in Criminal Law at the Law Department of Renmin University of China and began teaching there, it has been nearly twenty years. I remember when I first started teaching at the university, criminal law was considered a branch of legal studies, belonging to departmental law. Criminal law, as a science that studies criminal law, emerged with the birth of criminal law. Over a long history of development, as humanity's understanding of crime and punishment deepened, a vast criminal law heritage has been accumulated, becoming an important part of human civilization. This book elaborates on a legal principle that is inherent in legal provisions and dependent on them. The norms carried by legal provisions hold a central position in this book. Starting from legal provisions and ultimately returning to them, it provides a normative examination of criminal theory. In this sense, criminal law is what this book calls normative criminal law.
