Criminal proceedings generally have the following procedures:
- Confession.
- Taking of custody for bail.
- Whether to plead guilty or not.
- Sentencing.
This can be further divided into
- If you choose to plead guilty, then the next step is entered into sentencing.
- If you choose not to plead guilty, you go to a hearing next, and after the hearing, you finally go to sentencing.
In Australia, some acts that do not constitute a criminal offense in the eyes of the Chinese may be convicted in Australia. This is mainly because the important function of the criminal law is to warn and prevent, and thus to maintain public order. If you are a victim, the police will send you the suitable solicitor.
