Features: The Case Studies and Theoretical Research on Criminal Law of China (6 volumes) is a revised version of the 9-volume series published in April 2001. It covers the basic principles and systems of the general part of the Criminal Law, as well as the offenses in each chapter of the specific part. This casebook integrates practical analysis with theoretical discussion, balancing judicial demonstration and academic research. In response to the new developments in legislation, judicial practice, and theoretical research since its first publication, this revised edition makes the following adjustments to the original series:
In the "Case Studies" section, newly updated judicial cases replace or supplement the original cases to ensure the research material fully reflects the current judicial landscape.
In the "Problems" section, discussions are expanded to address new issues emerging in judicial practice, providing references and guidance for practitioners.
In the "Theoretical Research" section, the content is revised based on the latest criminal law provisions, legislative interpretations, judicial interpretations, and theoretical advancements, striving for deeper analysis.
A "Related Links" section is added after each system or offense, including relevant criminal law provisions, judicial interpretations, guiding opinions, and typical cases to help readers grasp the issue more comprehensively and from multiple perspectives.
Since its publication in April 2001, The Case Studies and Theoretical Research on Criminal Law of China (9 volumes) has been highly praised and welcomed by scholars, especially judicial practitioners, for its comprehensiveness, practicality, and high theoretical level. Although it was reprinted in September 2001, it remained in high demand. Many readers expressed their desire for a new edition through various channels.
Considering that since its first publication in April 2001, the national legislative body has made significant revisions and additions to the current Criminal Law through criminal law amendments and legislative interpretations, and the highest judicial organs have issued a series of judicial interpretations to meet the needs of criminal judicial practice, while criminal law theory has also made substantial progress in many areas, it became necessary to incorporate these new criminal law norms and theoretical research findings. After consulting with Legal Press, we decided to revise and republish the book.
This comprehensive revision not only incorporates the latest theoretical achievements in criminal law research over the past two and a half years but also focuses on the current Criminal Law and its subsequent single criminal laws, criminal law amendments, relevant legislative interpretations, and judicial interpretations as the primary basis. It aims to provide a thorough, accurate, and sufficient analysis of criminal law issues in judicial practice, striving to enhance the book's practical and academic value. Additionally, this revision appends relevant criminal law provisions, judicial interpretations, guiding opinions, and typical cases as references after the theoretical discussions to allow readers to grasp the issue more comprehensively and from multiple perspectives.
The scope of this revision includes:
(1) Revising the original content based on the latest criminal law provisions, legislative interpretations, judicial interpretations, and theoretical advancements, striving for deeper research.
(2) Collecting newly updated criminal cases to replace or supplement the original cases, ensuring the research material reflects the current judicial landscape.
(3) Discussing new issues emerging in judicial practice to provide references and guidance for practitioners.
(4) Adding a "Related Links" section after each system or offense, including relevant criminal law provisions, judicial interpretations, guiding opinions, and typical cases.
Regarding the writing team, the principle is that the original authors revise the parts they contributed to maintain theoretical consistency and continuity with the original book while fostering theoretical innovation and development. For the newly added sections, due to the tight schedule, we invited some doctoral students with strong research capabilities from the Criminal Law program at Renmin University of China to contribute.
After the revision, to facilitate readers and maintain the relative completeness and relevance of the book's sections, we reduced it from the original 9 volumes to 6 volumes.
