Abstract

The pilot work of community correction is a reform of penalty execution system to implement the criminal policy of tempering justice with mercy in our country. With the further implementation of the criminal policy of tempering justice with mercy in our country and the comprehensive trial of community correction, the scope of the trial continues to expand and the number of community prisoners continues to grow. In particular, the “community correction law (draft for comments)” (hereinafter referred to as the “draft for comments”) has further promoted the legislative work of community correction, but there is no denying that the draft for comments still needs to be improved in many aspects. Based on the experience and problems of the earliest pilot areas, this paper proposes that legislation should focus on solving four major problems: the scope of application of community correction, the executive authorities, rewards and punishment measures and the personal risk assessment of community prisoners.
