On July 28, the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP), together with the National Working Committee on Children and Women under the State Council, the All-China Women's Federation, and the China National Committee for the Wellbeing of the Next Generation, jointly released the fourth batch of typical cases focusing on providing comprehensive family education guidance in the handling of cases involving minors. The move aims to help localities across the country intensify guidance on family education for minors involved in cases, so as to promote the prevention and control of juvenile delinquency.
The six newly released cases highlight common issues and difficulties in family education of juveniles who have committed crimes or engaged in serious misconduct, reflecting three notable features.
First, they address the issue of guardianship education for juvenile offenders. The six cases all involve minors who have committed criminal offenses, with families commonly facing challenges such as inadequacy of guardianship and improper discipline. Precise intervention in family education guidance helps resolve the root causes of difficulties in bringing up minors, providing strong support for the correction of juvenile offenders.
Second, the quality and effectiveness of case handling are highlighted. With guidance and assistance, the family guardianship of the 28 minors involved in these cases has significantly improved. Their proactive cooperation with judicial authorities in conducting correction work has shown noticeable results, with many minors successfully gaining employment and reintegrating into society, while some have returned to school or been admitted to colleges to continue studying.
Third, the promotion of innovative experience is emphasized. On the basis of ensuring the effectiveness of individual case guidance, this batch of cases focuses on exploring institutional innovation by summarizing best practices and building a working model that can be replicated and promoted to enhance the level of family education guidance.
The chief of the SPP's Minors Procuratorial Department said that the newly released cases explicitly encourage local law enforcement and judicial authorities to establish long-term collaborative mechanisms with women's federations and committees for the wellbeing of the next generation and to strengthen coordination and cooperation efforts.
The official said that the procuratorial bodies will continue to enhance cooperation with other judicial bodies to better ensure the stability and sustainability of family education guidance work.
