Abstract:From “Draft Outline of Criminal Law” in the early years of PRC to current “Criminal Law”, in the past 70 years China’s juvenile criminal legislation has experienced tremendous changes, such as the change of criminal liability age, expansion of criminal protection for minors’ rights, and change of penalties. Apart from these achievements, China’s juvenile criminal legislations still have following problems: legislation in this regard is slow and decentralized; the principle of tempering justice with mercy is not well implemented; there are not many alternative measures for juvenile penalties. These problems have hindered the further development of juvenile criminal legislation. It is an important issue for us to learn from the successful experience in juvenile criminal legislation of the past 70 years and think about its future development. We need to take into account the juvenile criminal legislation, juvenile delinquency and the protection of minors’ rights in current China, change the basic concept of juvenile criminal legislation and accept the idea of educational punishment along with protective legislation. And under the guidance of this principle, we should start from criminal integration to promote the development of China’s juvenile criminal legislation.
