Jurisdiction in China's criminal proceedings refers to the division of authority of public security organs to directly accept criminal cases and the division of authority of judicial organs to hear criminal cases of first instance. Jurisdiction is divided into filing jurisdiction and trial jurisdiction. (a) the jurisdiction of filing a case refers to the division of functions and powers of the public security organs when accepting or investigating criminal cases. 1. Cases accepted by public security organs Criminal cases shall be investigated by public security organs, unless otherwise provided by law. This mainly refers to the vast majority of criminal cases except those directly accepted by the people's courts and investigated by the people's procuratorates themselves. State security organs handle criminal cases endangering state security according to law and exercise the same functions and powers as public security organs. 2. Cases accepted by the people's procuratorates in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Law, such as crimes of corruption and bribery, dereliction of duty by state functionaries, illegal detention, extorting confessions by torture, revenge and framing, illegal search and crimes of state functionaries abusing their powers to infringe upon citizens' democratic rights, shall be investigated by the people's procuratorates. If other major criminal cases committed by state functionaries by taking advantage of their powers need to be directly accepted by the people's procuratorate, they may be placed on file for investigation upon the decision of the people's procuratorate at or above the provincial level. 3. Cases directly accepted by the people's courts Article 18 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that cases of private prosecution shall be directly accepted by the people's courts. A case of private prosecution is a case in which the victim directly files a lawsuit with the court. Specifically, it includes cases handled only after being informed, minor criminal cases with evidence from the victim, and cases where the victim has evidence to prove that the defendant should be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law, but the public security organ or the people's procuratorate will not investigate the criminal responsibility of the defendant. (2) Trial jurisdiction refers to the division of authority of the people's court to hear criminal cases of first instance. Jurisdiction is divided into hierarchical jurisdiction, territorial jurisdiction and special jurisdiction. 1, hierarchical jurisdiction refers to the division of first instance jurisdiction of criminal cases by people's courts at all levels. The Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that the basic people's courts shall have jurisdiction over ordinary criminal cases of first instance, except those under the jurisdiction of the people's courts at higher levels according to law. The Intermediate People's Court has jurisdiction over the following criminal cases of first instance: (1) Cases endangering national security and terrorist activities; (2) Cases that may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death penalty. The criminal cases of first instance under the jurisdiction of the Higher People's Court are major criminal cases in the whole province (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government). The criminal case of first instance under the jurisdiction of the Supreme People's Court is a major national criminal case. When necessary, the people's court at a higher level may try criminal cases of first instance under the jurisdiction of the people's court at a lower level; A criminal case of first instance that the people's court at a lower level considers that the case is serious and complicated and needs to be tried by the people's court at a higher level may request to be transferred to the people's court at a higher level for trial. 2. Territorial jurisdiction Territorial jurisdiction refers to the division of the first instance jurisdiction of criminal cases between people's courts at the same level. The Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that criminal cases shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court of the place where the crime was committed. If it is more appropriate to have the case tried by the people's court of the defendant's domicile, it may also be under the jurisdiction of the people's court of the defendant's domicile. Several cases under the jurisdiction of the people's courts at the same level shall be under the jurisdiction of the court that initially accepted them, and may be transferred to the court of the main crime place when necessary. (Article 17 of the Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on the Application of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that disputes over jurisdiction shall be settled through consultation during the trial; If negotiation fails, the disputed people's court shall report to the people's court at the next higher level for designation of jurisdiction. A people's court at a higher level may designate a people's court at a lower level to try a case with unclear jurisdiction, or it may designate a people's court at a lower level to transfer the case to another people's court for trial. 3. Special Jurisdiction Special jurisdiction refers to the division of power between special courts and ordinary courts in the jurisdiction of criminal cases, which mainly solves the problem of which criminal cases should be tried by which special people's courts. China has set up special courts to accept criminal cases, including military courts and railway transport courts. Criminal cases involving the military and local governments shall be under jurisdiction in accordance with relevant regulations. Relevant procuratorial organs and public security organs with jurisdiction shall conduct relevant examinations when handling relevant cases. During the review, the relevant public security organs collected relevant evidence for such cases. In the event of a jurisdiction dispute, the superior management department will make relevant judgments to determine the ownership of the jurisdiction.
