Abstract:

As an important part of the construction of “Digital China”, digital prosecution has promotes the reconstruction and reform of the legal supervision mode. At present, digital prosecution is still in the early stage of development. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen basic theoretical research and promote a plan of reform by centering the digitalization of the operation mechanism of procuratorial power. This should begin by clarifying the concept connotations and historical context of digital prosecution. Reform efforts should also further demonstrate the legal basis for digital prosecution. The current digital prosecution reform’s difficulties include a case handling process that has not yet been conceptualized, a lack of data analysis and judgment abilities, a data system that is not standardized, and case teams that require greater professionalization. After reviewing the procuratorial power theory and its operational practice, this article suggests specific reforms to solve these problems. Basic guidelines should be adopted for the implementation of reform measures that will lay the foundation for the integration of digital procuratorial reform into the broader national governance system.
