If a person commits a crime and is punished, then the regulations that affect his children and relatives to join the military, take public office exams, and enter important positions should be abandoned. Otherwise, it will be extremely unfair to the affected people. In the absence of any scientific evidence to prove that the defendant committed a crime, his children, dependents, affected persons, etc. There must be criminal tendencies, criminal intent or criminal conduct.
Analysis on the lifting of examination restrictions for children of criminals.
1. Children of criminals have nothing to do with their parents’ crimes.
It is unreasonable and unscientific to link the children of criminals to their parents’ crimes and restrict them from taking public examinations. This approach undoubtedly deprives the children of criminals of equal competitive opportunities, suppresses their development prospects, and personally attacks and discriminates against them.
2. The effect of restrictions is limited.
The original intention of restricting the children of criminals from taking public examinations is to prevent the use of public office to facilitate criminal activities. If a person wants to commit a crime, it has nothing to do with whether his parents can pass the exam. Civil service recruitment should be based on ability and qualifications, not family background. If the children of criminals are deprived of the opportunity to take public examinations, it will lead to the diversification of the civil service and the loss of outstanding talents.
3. Protect the legitimate rights and interests of criminals’ children.
Removing restrictions on the examination of children of criminals not only respects human rights and the principle of equality, but also protects the legitimate rights and interests of children of criminals. Children of criminals are also citizens and have the right to participate in public affairs. If the children of criminals are deprived of the opportunity to take exams, it is not only unfair to them, but also undermines their rights and dignity as citizens.
4. Lifting restrictions requires strengthening supervision and preventive measures.
The lifting of restrictions on the children of criminals taking public office exams does not mean that the selection standards and supervision measures for public officials are completely relaxed. On the contrary, preventive measures should be strengthened in selection and supervision to prevent public officials from using their power to facilitate criminal activities. This includes rigorous inspection procedures, more stringent background checks, and effective supervision and management mechanisms.
