Research on the Application of the Criminal Policy of “Early Crackdown on Petty Crimes” in the Governance of Cybercrime Abstract： Keywords：

Abstract

Based on the "chain" of cybercrime and the correlation between upstream and downstream crimes, when leg - islation has not yet responded to the governance and regulatory measures related to cybercrime in a timely and definite manner, applying appropriate criminal policies, such as the "early crackdown on petty crimes" criminal policy, is a good strategy for addressing the source of cybercrime and providing some experience for legislation. The application of the criminal policy of "early crackdown on petty crimes" in the governance of cybercrime is in line with the basic core of "source governance", conforms to the spirit of the criminal judicial policy of "less arrest, more cautious prosecution, and more cautious detention", and follows the petty crime criminal legislation model of China. However, we should follow the "Nulla poena sine lege" in the criminal law when it is applicable, and build a diversified governance system for cybercrimes to achieve the coordinat - ed development of crime governance, human rights protection, and technological progress.
