Construction Of The Arrestment System Of In China

The arrestment is the authority of a state, using legitimate means to limit criminal suspects’or defendants’personal freedom before the statutory conviction procedures. It suppresses the individual privacy rights by the national public power. Therefore, the arrestment system does not only reflect the state’s respect and the level of protection for the basic human rights of citizen in essence, but also reflects the judicial civilization of the country. With the development of society, the arrestment system is examined and reformed by legislators in different countries. The legislator in our country has also realized the problem existed in legislation and judicial practice. They try to limit the public authority and pay attention to protect the private right of citizen. China’s legislature modified the "Criminal Procedure Law" greatly in2012, and the arrestment system was further improved. This paper mainly analyzes and researches the formation and basic principles of the arrestment system, problems existing in the arrestment system, and states my own opinions on the improvement of the Chinese arrestment system.
