ABSTRACT

Since the new era, China's crime pattern and crime structure have undergone significant changes, and vicious crimes and major violent crimes that seriously jeopardize the society as a whole have tended to decline, while minor criminal offenses have shown a linear upward trend, and there is an urgent need to build a perfect system of misdemeanor governance to cope with the new situation of social governance. This paper focuses on the necessity of building China's misdemeanor governance system, the problems existing in China's misdemeanor governance system, and in response to the above problems, puts forward practical and feasible countermeasures to promote the concept of misdemeanor governance from crime to governance, focus on the diversification of the use of China's misdemeanor governance methods, and strengthen the application of non-criminal punitive measures and non-prosecution.
