Features: The authors of this book are experienced lawyers and legal scholars working in the field of criminal defense. With years of experience in criminal defense, they have accumulated extensive expertise and a profound understanding of China's criminal law theory. From a perspective of legal practice, they have compiled the fundamental principles, common knowledge points, and key areas of practice for lawyers. The General Principles section of the book's first chapter introduces the basic concepts, fundamental principles, and scope of application of criminal law. The second chapter covers the basic concepts of crime and important concepts and knowledge related to criminal defense. The third chapter focuses on penalties, including primary and supplementary penalties. The fourth chapter provides a detailed explanation of the specific application of penalties. The Particulars section of the second part provides an in-depth introduction to some important and frequently occurring criminal offenses. The final chapter of the book offers a detailed introduction and study of China's death penalty and the death penalty review procedure. According to the Supreme People's Court's arrangements, the authority to review death sentences will be returned to the Supreme People's Court. Defending suspects and defendants is the duty of lawyers, but the hardships and difficulties they face are often unknown to the public. Due to traditional influences, many people lack a necessary understanding and support for the role and functions of lawyers in criminal proceedings. Fearless criminal defense lawyers face numerous misunderstandings and pressures, making great efforts and sacrifices. Through our actions, we hope to encourage more people to understand the work and social significance of criminal defense lawyers: criminal defense lawyers are not only advocates who help defendants pursue the maximization of their legitimate rights and interests but also guardians who uphold justice by supervising judicial fairness and promoting human rights protection! The experience of practicing law is accumulated gradually through handling cases, but the experience of predecessors can help later generations avoid some detours. The authors of this book hope that through its compilation, it can provide inspiration for those who have obtained a law license, are about to, or will engage in the legal profession. This book is suitable for reference and reading by lawyers, internship lawyers who have obtained a law license and are preparing to engage in criminal defense, as well as law students in higher education institutions and readers with an interest in law.
