The Criminal Law of PRC promulgated in 1997 established the special voluntary surrender system,which is an effective consummation of the Criminal Law of PRC promulgated in 1979. Since this establishment can serve the purpose of conducting an effective charge towards bribery cases by impelling briber and bagman to confess initiatively, many other foreign countries have already admitted the importance of the special voluntary surrender system unanimously.
Beginning with the basic theory of the special voluntary surrender system, and by analyzing the problem of judicial practice, the author aims at consummating the special voluntary surrender system with an effort to crack down on bribery crime.
The author stipulates that the special voluntary surrender system, which can find its origin in the third paragraph of Article 164, the second paragraph of Article 390 and the second paragraph of Article 392 of the Criminal Law of PRC, stands as an independent form between the common voluntary surrender and the quasi-voluntary surrender.
