Dr. Yu Haisong, a criminal justice worker, has a wish to write for frontline criminal practitionersThe ideal criminal law reference book.
Dream of moving forward down-to-earth,
"Little Yellow Book".Commentary on Practical Criminal Law (Second Edition).As scheduled!
In the autumn of 2022, we present Dr. Yu Haisong's Commentary on Practical Criminal Law.
As soon as the book was published, it was a rapid hit in practice"Popular".
Real feedback from readers.
In the early spring of 2024, with the official implementation of the Criminal Law Amendment (12), we bring you the second edition of the book. Autumn goes to spring, after more than a year of "grinding".Commentary on Practical Criminal Law (Second Edition).With the support and joint efforts of the authors, readers and editors, there has been a new "growth".
1. The change and unchanged of the "Little Yellow Book".
Laws are constantly being updated iteratively, and books must also be upgraded. The second edition of the Commentary on Practical Criminal Law retains the compilation style of the first edition, which was widely recognized by readers, and the 11 sections of the book, from "Legislative History", "Legislative Interpretations", "Opinions of Legislative Work Organs", "Relevant Provisions", "Judicial Interpretations", "Normative Documents", "Standards for Case Filing and Prosecution", to "Guiding Cases", "Replies and Replies on the Application of Law", "Refinement of Rules for Criminal Reference Cases", and "Analysis of Judicial Difficulties", in an effort to provide practitioners with "panoramic" judicial guidance.
Moreover, the second edition achieved "metabolism" on the basis of retaining the original style, that is, inWhile deleting the repealing documents, the legal provisions, judicial interpretations, and guiding opinions promulgated and implemented in 2023 will be added, and efforts will be made to achieve a "catch-all" of all kinds of norms, without any shortcomings.
It is particularly noteworthy that the second edition has significantly rewritten some of the articles involved in the Criminal Law Amendment (12), and at the same time, the authors have also made new annotations to important documents newly released in 2023, such as the Opinions of the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Justice on Handling Criminal Cases of Dangerous Driving While Intoxicated (Gao Jian Fa Ban Zi 2023 No. 187) and the Minutes of the National Court Work Conference on the Trial of Drug Cases (Kunming Conference, Fa 2023 No. 108).
In addition, this book does not simply copy and paste existing and published laws and regulations, but reflects his thinking on criminal legal practice and even theory through various details in the book.
Under the premise that the applicable scenarios of the electronic database and the volume of paper books are relatively limited, and the existing materials are "vast", this book, as a paper book, on the one hand, constantly improves itself, breaks through itself, maintains the update and development of the content, and adds 330,000 words on the basis of the first edition, and strives to provide readers with more content worth reading and learning; On the other hand, this book also chooses to "take the essence" and devote its limited space to the content that is most worthy of collection, such as refining the rules of reference cases in criminal trials for reference.
This is not only the unremitting pursuit of this book as a tool book, but also the unique charm of this book as a "integration of criminal law rules" that can be brought into the detention center, brought to the courtroom, and brought to the discussion room for the whole process of criminal case handling.
IIIt's not just a tool to "follow the map".
"Writing the Ideal Criminal Law Tool for Frontline Criminal Practitioners".This is the original intention of Dr. Yu Haisong to compile the "Criminal Law Commentary Series". This book is the first work of substantive law in the series. The author's understanding of the reference book is not just a simple accumulation of various legal materials, but also reflects his thinking on criminal legal practice and even theory through various details in the book.
In terms of codificationThe book still takes "annotation on the right to interpret" as the fundamental principle of the writing and style arrangement of the whole book, and the eleven sections set up are all aimed at solving unavoidable problems in the process of criminal justice and even academic research. For criminal justice practice, the above sections can provide multi-angle and multi-level thinking for the interpretation of applicable law. For academic research, it is of great significance to have an in-depth understanding of the principles behind legal norms and the practical problems in the process of law application, so as to broaden the research horizon and enhance the depth of research.
In terms of content inclusionThe name of this book is "commentary", which is naturally inseparable from the author's "commentary" and "commentary". Different from theoretical commentaries, practical commentaries follow more of the premise that "norms have binding force on judicial practice", and authors mostly seek solutions to existing difficult problems through the interpretation of written law, which is also in line with the characteristics of dogmatics or hermeneutics. Rather, such commentaries, which are based on the norms themselves, are more acceptable to positive law practitioners. For example, in the "Analysis of Judicial Difficulties" section, the author conducts argumentation analysis and gives corresponding conclusions and positions on some difficult issues. The "Commentary on this Commentary" in the book shows the author's specific thoughts on the relevant issues.
In addition, the author of this book has been deeply engaged in the criminal field for many years, and these experiences have made it more valuable for the "commentary" and "commentary" of criminal law.
In short, as a "commentary", this book does not simply "follow the map" as the goal, but gives full play to the advantages of the "commentary" as much as possible, bridging the binary separation between "practice" and "theory" in the criminal field.
3. Details everywhere beyond the content
For readers of the first edition, they will surely be attracted by the craftsmanship of the book. Such a rich "tome" not only does not give people a sense of "bulkiness" in terms of volume, but also has its own consistent style in design.
The "Commentary on Practical Criminal Law" continues to cooperate with Nanjing Amity Printing, in order to improve the shortcomings of the first edition of the cover that is easy to fold and vulnerable, the second edition of the cover carefully selects imported PU materials with better feel toughness; The hot silver and debossing process cooperate with the cover design, so that the appearance style of the book does not lose style; The text fully takes into account the characteristics of readers who read and flip through for a long time, and uses 40g dictionary paper to take into account the lightness and eye protection; The design of two yellow and gray different color ribbons and thumb index is designed to meet the needs of readers for recording and indexing when reading as much as possible; The second edition is specially bookmarked for the convenience of readers, and also recommends two other masterpieces of Dr. Yu Haisong's Practical Criminal Law Commentary Series - "Commentary on the Practical Criminal Procedure Law" and "Analysis of the Revision of the Criminal Procedure Law and Difficult Analysis of Judicial Application"; Before the main text, the author has written the "Practical Criminal Law Commentary User Guide" for new and old readers to read, understand and use this book more comprehensively and conveniently.
The introduction of the second edition is equipped with a commentary on the practical criminal law, which timely delivers the latest relevant criminal laws and regulations to readers, in an attempt to make up for the shortcomings of the physical book that lags behind the ever-changing criminal practice once it is published.
Commentary is successful, not overnight; Only by working for a long time can we do good work.
The first edition of the book was well received by readers as soon as it was released. Once it was put into storage, it was cleared and went through six printings before and after, which also strengthened the belief of the author and the editorial team to do a good job in the second edition and publish it as soon as possible. On the occasion of the launch of the second edition, we hope to bring a different reading experience to more readers, and we also hope that the yellow that once matched autumn will shine again this spring. In the future, we will also uphold this heavy sense of responsibility and love for commentary, so that the cause of criminal law commentary will last for a long time.

2024 Commentary on Practical Criminal Law (Second Edition).
Edited by Yu Haisong.
Commentary on Practical Criminal Law is a collection of criminal law rules, a complete book of criminal law throughout criminal procedures, and a criminal law tool book written by practitioners for practitioners written by Dr. Yu Haisong. The Commentary on Practical Criminal Law refers to the German Minor Law Commentary, based on China's criminal practice, and provides normative annotations and case rules for the provisions of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China.
With a length of more than 2,000 pages and more than 280,000 words, the Commentary on Practical Criminal Law aims to serve criminal practice and strives to realize the four basic attributes of "complete", "clear", "fast" and "useful" that the ideal picture of criminal law reference books should have: "comprehensive" is a comprehensive collection of criminal law rules, and a book that solves basic and common criminal law problems; "Clear" means clarifying the hierarchy of rule categories to facilitate quick selection when rules conflict; "Jie" means that the text of the rules is reasonably presented, and the rules applicable to more than 1,000 criminal reference cases are extracted; "Use" is the specific application of service rules and provides solutions to practical problems.
Based on this, the Commentary on the Practical Criminal Law takes the legal provisions as the key and interprets them one by one in accordance with the 452 articles of the Criminal Law. For the purpose of columns, more than 10 columns are set up, which are "compiled" and "written" according to practical logic. There is a unique "arrangement" that comprehensively includes legislative interpretations, relevant provisions, judicial interpretations, normative documents, standards for filing and prosecuting cases, and guiding cases of the Criminal Law, and appropriately includes replies and replies to the application of the Criminal Law; There are also ingenious "writings" that clearly sort out the legislative evolution of the criminal law, carefully compile more than 1,000 substantive case rules in the Criminal Trial Reference, and concisely analyze difficult issues in judicial practice. In particular, on the basis of "careful selection", the rules of criminal reference cases are "merged" to systematize the application of case rules, which has become a unique column in the book.
The Commentary on Practical Criminal Law is a "collection of criminal law norms" that can be brought into the detention center, brought to the courtroom, and brought to the discussion room for the whole process of criminal case handling, which has accurate guiding significance for criminal practice and case handling, and also has important reference value for criminal defense and academic research, making it an ideal criminal law reference book.
