At the level of deepening collaboration between prosecutors and schools, it is recommended that cooperation between prosecutors and schools in the field of juvenile prosecution be strengthened, that relevant theoretical research be deepened, and that, in the course of the State's revision of the Criminal Procedure Law, suggestions for amendments be actively put forward to the legislature to provide Jiangsu with wisdom.
