Crimes that seriously affect the people’s sense of security, such as violent injuries to doctors, are severely punished. For cases that seriously challenge the bottom line of law and ethics, such as maiming minors, sexually assaulting children, and abducting women and children, the sentence that should be severely punished and the death sentence should be imposed. Don’t be soft.
At the same time, if there is a statutory or discretionary lenient circumstance caused by civil conflicts, a lenient punishment shall be imposed in accordance with the law, which fully reflects the policy. In 2021, the number of criminals sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years accounted for 84.6% of the total number of effective sentences, which means that 84.6% of the criminal cases sentenced by the people’s courts are light sentences of less than three years of fixed-term imprisonment. my country’s social security order continues to improve.
Over the past ten years, the people’s courts have severely cracked down on crimes such as online telecommunications fraud, crimes once morest women and children, and drug crimes, and carried out in-depth special campaigns to crack down on pension fraud. Crimes that infringe upon the vital interests of the people, such as throwing from a high altitude, impersonating school, etc., in particular, increase the protection of special groups such as women, children, the elderly, the disabled, etc. From the table to the medicine, from the top to the foot, from the entity to the network, we will protect the safety of the people in all aspects.
