What does it mean to be in criminal detention?

Once a relative is detained in criminal detention, it means that the relative has been suspected of committing a crime, and then it needs to go through a long criminal case procedure.

Criminal cases basically go through three stages, namely, the investigation stage of public security organs, the examination and prosecution stage of procuratorate and the trial stage of court. Criminal detention takes place in the investigation stage of a case, and the longest time stipulated by law is 37 days. If you fail to get bail pending trial within 37 days;

Next is the arrest stage, which generally lasts for up to 2 months, but the time limit can be extended; Then the case will be reviewed and prosecuted by the procuratorate for a period of one and a half months, but it can be returned to the public security organ twice, once for one month; Then enter the court trial stage, which is usually completed within three months. However, if the victim brings an incidental civil action or a case that may be sentenced to death, it may be extended for another six months.

First, criminal detention is different from administrative detention, and criminal detention is generally more serious than administrative detention.

Generally speaking, administrative detention lasts for fifteen days at the longest, and criminal detention is a stage of criminal cases, which lasts for thirty-seven days at the longest, and then it will go through a long criminal procedure; Administrative detention is detention in detention center, and criminal detention is detention in detention center. In other words, if your relative is detained in the detention center and a detention notice is issued, then your relative has been suspected of committing a criminal offence and things have become more serious.

Second, criminal detention is a criminal compulsory measure.

China's "Criminal Procedure Law" stipulates five criminal compulsory measures, namely: compulsory summons, detention, arrest, bail pending trial and living in a prison cell. Criminal detention is one of the five criminal compulsory measures, which is a criminal measure taken against criminal suspects who are suspected of committing major crimes, and also a compulsory measure taken at the initial investigation stage of criminal cases.

Third, criminal detention marks the beginning of a criminal case, which is followed by a long criminal judicial procedure.
