Criminal offence is one of the most serious criminal consequences in China. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to accept certain criminal penalties. So what are our specific contents about the consequences of his crime? Next, I'll sort out the answers to the question about the consequences of criminal offences, and let's look down with the questions together.
I. Consequences of criminal offences
Generally speaking, if a crime is committed, there will be corresponding criminal responsibility and criminal punishment. The penalties stipulated in China's criminal law include principal punishment and supplementary punishment.
The main punishments are public surveillance, criminal detention, fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment and death penalty; Additional punishments include fines, deprivation of political rights and confiscation of property.
However, China's criminal law also has humanized provisions, and not all criminals are subject to criminal punishment. People under the age of 14 are not criminally responsible, and people over the age of 14 but under the age of 16 are not criminally responsible except for the crimes of intentional homicide, intentional injury, serious injury, death, rape, robbery, drug trafficking, arson, explosion and throwing dangerous substances; A mental patient who causes harmful results when he can't identify or control his own behavior and is confirmed by legal procedures shall not bear criminal responsibility; A deaf-mute or blind person who commits a crime may be given a lighter, mitigated or exempted punishment.
Second, what is a criminal offence and what punishment will it be?
1. Crimes against national security: treason, secession, sedition and others.
2. Crimes of endangering public security: arson, water bursting and explosion.
3. Crime of disrupting the order of socialist market economy: the crime of producing and selling fake and inferior commodities; Crime of smuggling; Crime of disturbing the management order of companies and enterprises.
4. Crimes against citizens' personal rights and democratic rights: intentional homicide, negligent death, intentional injury, etc.
5. others.
Crime can be divided into intentional crime and negligent crime according to subjective will. Intentional crime refers to a kind of crime caused by subjective hope or laissez-faire, such as intentional homicide, whose subjective intention is murder and theft, and subjective intention is stealing money. Negligence crime refers to crimes that should be foreseen but not foreseen, such as death caused by a general car accident and death caused by speeding without stopping in time. This is a negligent crime. Actual punishment refers to public surveillance, detention, fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment and death penalty. Actual punishment is relative to supplementary punishment, which includes fines and deprivation of political rights. Criminal punishment can include actual punishment or additional punishment. In China, supplementary punishment can be applied separately.
Third, is it useful to hire a lawyer in criminal cases?
If you have the financial ability, it is recommended to entrust a lawyer as soon as possible.
Criminal cases are divided into three stages: public security investigation stage, procuratorate examination and prosecution stage and court trial stage. As long as the parties are suspected of any crime, as long as they are not convicted by the court, they cannot be called criminals and have no criminal record. Therefore, the best time to invite lawyers to intervene is the public security investigation stage, because at this stage, the public security organs are not allowed to let family members or relatives visit, and only lawyers can see the parties.
Moreover, the earlier a criminal case is entrusted to a lawyer, the better the final handling of the case will be. It is best to entrust a lawyer to intervene at the investigation stage or when a person is taken into compulsory measures (detention).
With the lawyer's intervention, we can know the case earlier, because his confession has not yet taken shape, and the lawyer can remind him what to say and tell him what is bad for him.
Furthermore, the intervention of lawyers can effectively avoid the occurrence of extorting confessions by torture. Without the intervention of lawyers, most of them will be punished in the investigation and detention stage. If you have a lawyer, you can tell him that the lawyer can appeal and sue him.
The above is my detailed answer to the question of the consequences of criminal offences. If a criminal case occurs, it is very necessary for us to ask a lawyer to defend it, and to ask a lawyer in time can reduce our crime.
