An Analysis On The Standard Of Criminal Evidence Of China

Standard of criminal proof is one of the key issues in criminal-proof theory. It is of great significance to decide a scientific&reasonable standard ofcriminal proof.

From the view of procedure law, proof standard is the mark that whether the onus probandi (burden of proof) on the subject is ended.
