摘要

Abstract

With the accelerated aging of China's population and its deep integration with digital transformation

cyber fraud targeting the elderly is exhibiting increasingly technical

scenario-specific

and systematic criminal chains. This phenomenon severely infringes upon the property rights of older adults and undermines social stability. Although the existing criminal law system provides a foundational regulatory framework through charges such as fraud and the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information

supplemented by specific judicial interpretations

deficiencies remain. These shortcomings are evident in the appropriateness of charges

the precision of sentencing

procedural safeguards

and the effectiveness of asset recovery. Building upon existing research and judicial practice

this paper explores optimized pathways for the criminal law response to elder-oriented cyber fraud. The analysis proceeds from four dimensions: refining the system of criminal charges

optimizing sentencing mechanisms

strengthening procedural protections

and constructing a collaborative governance model between administrative and criminal law. The aim is to provide legal support for safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly and advancing the national strategy for actively addressing population aging.
