From Crime to Governance: An Analysis of the Governance Path of the Misdemeanor Era

In the context of the misdemeanor era, promoting the governance of misdemeanors should focus on governance from the governance end, breaking away from the simple thinking of only discussing crimes and post-punishment. The so-called governance refers to the full-process prevention and control of misdemeanors through the construction of a multi-subject co-governance system, and the improvement of the execution connection. This is also the objective requirement of the new eras source governance. However, there are still certain difficulties in the promotion of misdemeanor governance, mainly manifested in the imperfect mechanism for establishing offenses, insufficient use of non-custodial punishment methods, and the continued existence of overly strict criminal ancillary consequences, indicating problems of excessive emphasis on punishment and insufficient governance thinking. In response to these issues, it is necessary at this stage to construct a funnel-shaped mechanism for establishing offenses, improve the governance system of light crimes, light penalties, change overly strict criminal ancillary consequences to enhance the modernization level of misdemeanor governance, and establish a more reasonable plea governance system.
