THE CONCEPT AND FEATURES OF ORGANIZED CRIME UNDER THE LAWS OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the legislative definition of the category «organized crime», enshrined in the Law of the People's Republic of China «On Combating Organized Crime». The authors concluded that the formulations of various forms of organized criminal activity used by the Chinese legislator are unsuccessful. The use of different, inconsistent categories may violate the uniformity of interpretation of the norms, lead to difficulties in the process of qualifying the relevant criminal acts and adversely affect the measures to combat organized crime.
