Searches Avoid Minors
The Jiangning District Procuratorate of Nanjing
Municipality has conducted "no minors present" searches
in the investigation of over 30 cases of corruption and dereliction
of duty. Criminal psychology and criminal law experts hail this
change, saying that it introduces a humane aspect to the rigors
of law, and contributes to the healthy growth of young people.
Witnessing their parents being questioned or arrested has a
negative affect on minors, making them lose self-esteem, and
feel alienated from their parents. Compulsory law enforcement
measures may also arouse resentment in the young children of
suspects, which could later evolve into a grudge against society.
