For fights and brawls where the circumstances are more minor, the public security organs may impose fines and punishments on the parties. The amount of the fine varies depending on the severity of the offense, but generally ranges from a few hundred to several thousand yuan.

For fights and brawls where the circumstances are more serious, the public security organs may give the parties a punishment of detention. The duration of detention generally ranges from a few days to several months, depending on the severity of the circumstances. The purpose of detention is to subject the person to certain restrictions and constraints on his or her personal liberty and to recognize the seriousness of the act.
