On Improvement Of Investigation Supervision System By Procuratorial Organization

The traditional investigation supervision system of China is mainly focused on theprocuratorial organization’s exercise of powers for approval of arrest, supervision over case filingand supervision over investigation activities. Due to such factors as undeveloped litigation ideas,insufficient legislation, limited supervision scope and unsound system for supervision, theinvestigation supervision is in lack of legal guarantee. With the post-event and lagging-behindcharacteristics, it fails to provide timely and efficient direction for poor investigation, lackingnecessary restriction and supervision over illegal investigation activities with a gap between theinvestigation quality and public prosecution of criminal cases, which has led to a series of problemssuch as high re-investigation rate, low efficiency in litigation and weakened judicial control overcrimes. The function of investigation supervision cannot be brought into full play, which is urgentto be reformed as it is unfavorable for protecting civil rights and improving litigation efficiency incriminal proceedings. It is imperative to innovate on the ideas of investigation supervision, specifythe legal norms, reform the supervision modes and improve the construction of practical state andideal state of investigation supervision system in China.
