Features: In this volume of Criminal Law Review, a special column titled "Research on the Liu Yong Case" is dedicated to two papers by Zhou Changjun and Feng Jun. I noticed that the two papers approach the Liu Yong Case from different perspectives: Zhou Changjun's paper was written before the retrial and revision, primarily analyzing the "controversial phenomenon" arising from the second-instance judgment. In the "Theoretical Frontiers" section, Fu Liqing's paper provides a systematic review of the origins of criminal integration, which belongs to the study of academic history. The academic lineage is clear, and the language is concise and engaging, making it a superior work with high readability. In the "Empirical Research on Criminal Law" section, two papers by Sun Yunliang and Ge Lei are published, employing empirical methods to study criminal law systems. In the "Community Correction Research" section, two papers on the study of community correction systems are published. In the "Foreign Perspectives" section, a paper titled "On the Privatization of Prisons in Western Countries and Its Reference Value" by Researcher Wu Wanxian is published, where we begin to encounter a completely new topic: "private prisons." In the "Special Research" section, a series of cutting-edge research findings are published. Under the framework of criminal law integration, this book is composed of several sections, including criminal constitutive theory, empirical criminal law, community correction, foreign perspectives, special research, and theoretical frontiers. The book also conducts a special study on the Liu Yong Case, pointing out the chaos in China's criminal justice system and the path forward for criminal justice reform. The authors of this book are mostly talented Ph.D.s, with works that are distinctive in style, making it an important reference for teaching and research in criminal justice studies.
