Protecting the young from crime
Print Edition
China made constructive efforts in cracking down on crimes against minors while stressing victim protection and assistance in 2020, the Supreme People鈥檚 Procuratorate said yesterday.
In the first 11 months of 2020, procurators approved the arrest of 34,700 individuals for crimes against minors and prosecuted 50,700 for such suspected crimes, said Shi Weizhong, a senior prosecutor with the SPP.
Shi said that in 2020, prosecutors offered special care to minor victims in 4,338 cases, 2.6 times that of the previous year.
To minimize further mental and emotional harm to the victims caused by reliving the traumatic experience during investigations, procurators across the country had set up over 1,000 specialized centers handling everything from evidence collecting to counseling as of October 2020.
The SPP, together with other central authorities, released a trial policy last May. It requires people working for the government and those having close contact with minors in workplaces to report any real or potential acts harming minors to the police.
Within four months after the policy was implemented, close to 500 cases were reported and prosecuted. Shi added many major child abuse cases were spotted promptly, thanks to doctors鈥 reporting as required.
More than 33,000 prosecutors acted as deputy principals in over 45,000 schools to advance legal education for students.
