Predicament and Outlet in the Judicial Disposal of Criminal Hot Cases
The judicial response to hot cases builds up an effective way of communication and interaction between the judiciary and the public.It is a beneficial practice of the judiciary to cope with the public opinion frequently triggered by hot cases,which is conducive to the realization of judicial justice,but still needs to be further optimized at the operational level.The study of crim-inal hotspot case judicial response has fuller practical significance.Judicial response to criminal hotspot cases is an auxiliary measure independent of the regular criminal procedure.At present,the judicial organs have formed a four-stage basic pattern of"hotspot identification-assisted case handling-information release-follow-up release"for judicial response to criminal hotspot cases.However,there are still problems of insufficient ability to identify hot spots,the timeliness,accuracy,and authority of in-formation release need to be improved,and insufficient attention is paid to follow-up releases.Accordingly,six optimization pro-posals were put forward to establish a coordinating mechanism for judicial response to hotspot cases in advance,including impro-ving the ability to identify hotspots,insisting on the unity of timeliness,accuracy,and authority of information release,attach im-portance to follow-up release,attach importance to the identification and response to Internet rumors,and attach importance to the role of press conferences and mainstream media.
