1983 what are the reasons for cracking down on criminal offences?

From 65438 to 0983, the government of China took a series of measures to crack down on criminal offences, the most famous of which was the campaign of "eliminating pornography and illegal publications". The campaign aims to crack down on pornography, gambling, drug trafficking and other illegal and criminal activities in order to maintain social security and public order.

During this period, China's economy is undergoing reform and opening-up, and its social structure is also changing, and some social contradictions and criminal problems also appear. The government believes that the increase in criminal activities has seriously affected social stability and economic development, and measures need to be taken to crack down and suppress it in order to maintain social security and order.

In addition, the government believes that cracking down on crime can improve people's trust and support for the government, which is conducive to consolidating political power and maintaining social stability. Therefore, after 1983, China government began to implement a series of measures to combat crime, including strengthening the police force, increasing prison construction, improving the legal system and other measures to ensure social stability and economic development.
