Judicial practice has proved that the system of Leniency of Guilty Plea is in line with the current changes in the structure of criminal crimes in China,in line with the law of criminal justice development,and is a major innovation in the criminal justice system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.However,we found in the investigation and research that there are still four outstanding problems in the judicial application of the system,such as the lower adoption rate of sentencing recommendations,excessive reliance by the prosecution,defence counsel and the courts on the guilty confessions of the accused,the absence of the system of parties participation in consultation and judicial human rights protection mechanism,the insufficient compatibility between precise sentencing recommendations and the substantiation of court trials.To solve the above problems,the court needs it is necessary to change the concept,build consensus,strengthen cooperation with relevant authorities,make full use of the application according to law,and jointly promote the steady operation of the system of confession and punishment,to adhere to the trial as the center,and the court trial plays a decisive role in finding out the facts,determining the evidence,protecting the right of action and fair judgment.Furthermore,the court should strengthen the cooperation with the participants,drawing a concentric circle of criminal justice.
