To apply criminal law, we must interpret it. The interpretation of criminal law should conform to principle of legality and be limited to the "range of original text", which can be foreseen by ordinary person. Expanding-interpretation exceeding original text is forbidden, aggravated penalty is forbidden, and isolated interpretation breaching general legal essence is forbidden. To improve the interpretation, three measures are supposed to be taken: i. Amending the criminal law timely and regulating the legislative interpretation. ii. Improving system of criminal law interpretation and cleaning up the judicatory interpretation. iii. Editing representative judgments and abiding by the guiding judicial decisions. |
