As one of the measures of non-administrative punishment,administrative admonishment is often used by administrative organs toregulate the behavior of administrative counterparts in practice. Althoughthere are explicit provisions on admonishment in law, the legal effect andspace of its application are not clear, which leads to the abuse of administrativeadmonishment in administration. Most of the current theoretical researchresults focus on the analysis and discussion of the nature of the admonishmentbehavior, and less on the analysis of the application space of the behavior. Thispaper takes the analysis of legal regulations and practical cases as the entrypoint, distinguishes the behaviors similar to administrative admonishment suchas warning and ordering correction in the substantive sense, and constructs thelegal effect and application space of administrative admonishment application.
