Whether the administrative appraisal opinions collected by administrative agencies in the process of
law enforcement or case handling can be used as evidence in criminal proceedings. This is a controversial issue
that has a greater impact on judicial practice. The Criminal Procedure Law of the People’ s Republic of China
(2018 Amendment) and its related judicial interpretations do not make clear provisions on this issue. Although
in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Rules of the People’ s Procuratorate in
2019 and the Provisions on the Procedures for the Handling of Criminal Cases by Public Security Organs in
2012, administrative expertise can be used as evidence in criminal proceedings, the current academic research
on this issue is still It is relatively rare, and there are few discussions on how to use administrative appraisal
opinions in criminal justice, and there is a lack of empirical data support. In view of this, the author will use 300
judicial case documents from the Peking University Magic Database as a sample to conduct an empirical study
on the application of administrative appraisal opinions in criminal justice. The author’s expectation is: through
this research, we can roughly discover the overall characteristics and status of the application of administrative
appraisal opinions in criminal justice, and discuss the current main problems, and then try to put forward some
ideas for improvement.
