Features: General Theory of Criminal Application adopts a thematic research approach, systematically organizing fundamental theoretical issues in criminal law. For each topic, the book is neither as profound as a monograph nor as superficial as a textbook; instead, it combines the strengths of both genres, offering a well-balanced and thoroughly discussed presentation. This book represents a comprehensive review of the author's previous research in criminal theory following the 1997 revision of the Criminal Law, as well as a significant work in the field of criminal law. The first volume covers the content equivalent to the theory of crime in the criminal law system. The theory of crime is a vital component of criminal law theory, with the theory of crime composition particularly highlighting the professionalism of the discipline. The first volume consists of ten themes, reflecting the author's research achievements in the field of crime theory. These ten themes broadly encompass major issues in crime theory, especially with in-depth discussions on acts vs. omissions, intentional vs. negligent crimes, and special forms of criminal conduct. The second volume covers the content equivalent to the theory of punishment in the criminal law system, which is a weak area in China's criminal law theoretical research. The second volume systematically organizes the fundamental theoretical issues of the theory of punishment through ten themes, with particular emphasis on the penal system, reflecting the author's meticulous efforts. Although General Theory of Criminal Application is not a systematic work on criminal law, its twenty themes cover a broad scope, reflecting the author's fundamental views and positions on major issues in criminal law, thus holding significant academic value.
