Regulations on the connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice

Legal analysis

The connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice is related to law-based administration and fair administration of justice, as well as to maintaining economic and social order and protecting the vital interests of the people. In recent years, especially since the implementation of the "Regulations on the Transfer of Suspected Criminal Cases by Administrative Law Enforcement Agencies", relevant departments in various regions have established and improved working mechanisms to connect administrative law enforcement and criminal justice. Administrative law enforcement agencies have intensified their efforts to transfer suspected criminal cases. A large number of criminal acts that endanger the socialist market economic order and social management order have been subject to criminal sanctions, effectively curbing illegal and criminal activities. However, we should also note that in some areas of administrative law enforcement, problems such as difficulty in finalizing cases, difficulty in transferring cases, and the substitution of fines for punishment are still prominent. In order to strengthen the connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice, the following opinions are hereby put forward.
