Comprehensive fulfillment of duties, Conditional Non-prosecution, Administrative public interest litigation, Drug abuse, Digital procuratorial work

Key Point

When handling cases involving minors, the procuratorial organs shall coordinate and leverage various procuratorial functions, and enhance comprehensive judicial protection for minors through integrated performance of duties. In cases where minors involved in drug abuse problems are considered for conditional non-prosecution, it is possible to specify addiction treatment measures to improve the precision of assistance and education. In response to social governance issues discovered in individual cases, big data analysis should be put into full use, similar case clues should be deeply explored, and efforts should be made to build a system of leak plugging and to enhance protection at the source, so as to elevate the quality and effectiveness of the "individual case handling – similar case supervision – systematic governance" workflow.
