ABSTRACT

Simultaneous punishment for multiple crimes refers to a system in which people's courts, in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Law and according to the rules of sentencing, jointly punish multiple individuals for multiple crimes. Although the system of combined punishment for several crimes has been guided by clear and specific principles in the general rules of criminal law, there are still objective situations in which different judiciary agencies have different judgments when applying multiple punishments for multiple crimes and disputes in academic circles. The system of combined punishment of several crimes has certain shortcomings. This article will elaborate on the three dimensions of the concept and characteristics of the system of combined punishment of multiple crimes, the theoretical value of the system of combined punishment of multiple crimes, and the application of the system of combined punishment of multiple crimes.
