Xinhua News, 2009-04-20
The Central Party School's flagship publication, Study Times, printed an article by Liu Renwen, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Science, criticizing the high rate of pre-trial detention in China's criminal justice system and calling for legislative and administrative reform. Liu points out the problems with excessive pre-trial detention—detention center overcrowding, unnecessary waste of state resource, endangerment of suspects' human rights and contradictions with the presumption of innocence. For solutions, he calls for adapting foreign legal systems' strict time limits on police custody, greater improvement and use of bail pending trial and reform and implementation of the residential surveillance system.
