Abstract

The revision of the Criminal Law reflects the importance that the legislature attaches to the issue of misdemeanor crimes; at present, the threshold for misdemeanor crimes in China has been lowered, and it has become more difficult for crimes to be committed, and there has been a shift in the system of governance from “strict, but not strict” to “both strict and strict”. Fengqiao model in promoting social harmony in the new era contains the value of fairness, efficiency and order, and misdemeanor governance has a unified purpose and position, misdemeanor governance in China has a reference significance. The Fengqiao model in promoting social harmony in the new era is a vivid practice of modernizing social governance. To build a perfect path for misdemeanor governance in China, the Fengqiao model in promoting social harmony in the new era should be used as a theoretical guide, giving full play to judicial activism, strengthening procuratorial hearings, reducing arrests and prosecutions, and ensuring prudent detention; promoting criminal reconciliation and strengthening the governance of the source of the lawsuit; and adjusting the allocation of penalties and reducing the number of people in detention.
