How many days is criminal detention for theft?

The average number of days of criminal detention for theft depends on the specific circumstances:

1. The specific period of criminal detention for theft needs to be judged according to the specific circumstances, complexity, investigation progress of public security organs and other factors. General theft can be released from criminal detention for 7 days to 14 days.

2. The maximum detention time is not more than 37 days, and the standard for filing a theft case is theft of public or private property 1000 yuan or more.

3. The filing standards of different provinces and cities will be combined with the economic development.

The constitutive elements of theft are as follows:

1, the object of theft is the ownership of public and private property;

2. Theft objectively shows that the perpetrator has the behavior of stealing a large amount of public and private property or stealing public and private property for many times;

3. The subject of theft is the general subject;

4. The crime of theft is direct and intentional subjectively, with the purpose of illegal possession.

The evidence of theft is as follows:

1. Collect surveillance video images as effective evidence against criminal suspects.

2. Collect effective recordings as evidence against criminal suspects. When recording, both parties must speak freely without any restrictions. In addition, the recording content should be clear, and try to call each other's names to increase the credibility of the recording. Moreover, the recording must be true, unmodified or edited before it can be used as valid evidence.

3. Collect the traces of the criminal suspect belonging to the crime scene as effective evidence.

4. Collecting effective material evidence can be used as evidence against the criminal suspect.

5. The witness's testimony can also be used as effective evidence to accuse the criminal suspect.

6. If the location where the suspect hides the stolen goods is searched, the stolen goods can be used as valid evidence.

7. The confession of the criminal suspect can also be used as one of the evidences to prove that the criminal suspect committed the crime. If the suspect has obvious repentance and admits the fact of theft, then his confession can also be used as one of the evidences to prove the suspect's theft.

8. The seizure list and the explanation of solving the case obtained with the help of the police can be used as documentary evidence.

To sum up, theft depends on whether the circumstances are serious or not. In serious cases, criminal responsibility should be pursued, with the greatest punishment and the longest detention days.
