The Central Political and Legal Work Conference held from the 12th to the 13th made a series of arrangements for political and legal work in the new year to maintain security and stability and promote fairness and justice.

The reporter learned from the meeting that in 2025, the political and legal organs will further strengthen the comprehensive management of social security, and make efforts from the three aspects of "punishment", "prevention" and "management", and improve the overall prevention and control capabilities of social security.
Strengthen the deterrence of "punishment" - The meeting clearly stated that for major vicious crimes, we must strictly manage, investigate and handle them in accordance with the law, quickly investigate, prosecute and sentence them quickly, so as to achieve a combination of special prevention and general prevention. We must summarize the tactics and increase efforts to deal with illegal and criminal activities that the masses have strongly reflected on telecommunications and network fraud, pornography, gambling, drugs, theft, robbery and fraud, and seize them to the end.

"Ensure national security is as stable as Mount Tai and social stability is as solid as a rock." The meeting emphasized that in 2025, we must take the implementation of the national security responsibility system of the Party Committee (Party Group) and maintain social stability as a starting point, and deepen the special governance of "resolving conflicts and risks and maintaining social stability" and carry out special supervision in a timely manner.
My country is one of the safest countries in the world, but maintaining security and stability currently faces many risks. The political and legal organs have a heavy responsibility to crack down on illegal and criminal acts that challenge legal authority, provoke public order, and infringe on the interests of the people.
Don’t forget danger when you are safe, and don’t forget chaos when you are cured. The meeting clearly stated: "Adhere to the principle of punishment and prevention, and be good at solving practical problems through strict law enforcement."
Punish criminal activities such as endangering public safety and trafficking of women and children in accordance with the law, punishing economic crimes such as smuggling, financial fraud, and infringement of intellectual property rights in accordance with the law, and carrying out pilot projects to standardize the connection mechanism between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice... The meeting made a series of arrangements to deter crimes, protect the people, and escort economic and social development.
Justice is the soul and life of justice. Fair justice is the last line of defense to maintain social fairness and justice.
Adhere to the principle of "combining leniency and severity" in criminal justice is of great significance to preventing and reducing crimes and resolving social conflicts. The meeting proposed that the criminal policy of combining leniency and severity should be fully implemented, fully consider the social harm of criminal behavior in judicial work, pay attention to the actual feelings of the people, and ensure that leniency should be lenient and strict as long as it should be.
The political and legal organs have a long way to go on the road to defending fairness and justice and protecting the rights and interests of the people. The meeting deployed a series of solid measures to better ensure judicial fairness and enhance judicial credibility.
Strictly implement the case filing registration system, formulate and implement opinions on strictly regulating the filing and mediation of civil cases in accordance with the law; unswervingly open judicial affairs, issue guiding opinions on deepening and standardizing judicial affairs; deepen the reform of the separation of judicial power and enforcement power, and issue a plan for reforming the execution system...
One part of deployment, nine parts of implementation.
People expect that the political and legal organs will not forget their original aspirations and move forward bravely, resolutely safeguard national security and social stability, protect the people's living and working in peace and contentment, and let you and I truly feel that "peace" is around you.
