Measures to combat criminal offenses

The compulsory measures in criminal offenses are as follows: (1) Custodial summoning Custodial summoning refers to a coercive method by which the public security organs, people's procuratorates, and people's courts compel the presence of suspects and defendants who have not been taken into custody to be interrogated. (2) Pending trial on bail Pending trial on bail refers to a coercive measure in which the People's Court, the People's Procuratorate or the public security organ orders certain criminal suspects or criminal defendants to put forward a guarantor or pay a deposit to ensure that they will be summoned to appear at the trial. (3) Residence under surveillance Residence under surveillance refers to a coercive measure in which the People's Court, the People's Procuratorate or the public security organ in criminal proceedings orders a criminal suspect or defendant not to leave his or her residence or designated place of abode for a specified period of time, and monitors his or her behavior and restricts his or her personal freedom. (4) Detention Detention refers to a coercive measure taken by a people's procuratorate or a public security organ to temporarily restrict the personal freedom of a criminal in flagrante delicto or a suspected offender in the course of investigation in the event of a legal emergency in the case of a case that the people's procuratorate or the public security organ has directly accepted. (5) Arrest Arrest is one of the most severe of the criminal coercive measures, which means that the public security organs, people's procuratorates and people's courts shall, in accordance with the law, take the suspects and defendants into custody and deprive them of their personal freedom for a certain period of time as a coercive measure.

Article 66 of the Criminal Procedure Law The people's courts, people's procuratorates, and public security organs may, in accordance with the circumstances of the case, detain the suspect or defendant, release him on bail pending trial, or place him under residential surveillance. Article 167 The people's procuratorate shall make a decision within fourteen days on the arrest of a person detained in a case that it has directly accepted, if it considers that an arrest is necessary. In special circumstances, the time for deciding on arrest may be extended by one to three days. Those who do not need to be arrested shall be released immediately; those who need to continue the investigation and meet the conditions for release on bail or residential surveillance shall be released on bail or residential surveillance in accordance with the law.
