With the advent of an aging society

crimes by the elderly are becoming more and more common. As a special group

the elderly need special treatment from the criminal procedure system

both from a theoretical point of view and from a policy point of view. At present

some efforts have been made in relevant judicial interpretations

but they are still slightly off track

with insufficient institutionalization

systematization

and leniency. In view of this

it is necessary to comprehensively consider and systematically construct to improve the investigation

prosecution and trial system aimed at protecting elderly suspects and defendants.
