With the continuous improvement of my countrys criminal law system, the governance of minor offenses has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of criminal law. As an important component of the governance of minor offenses, the legality and rationality of the criminal consequence system have attracted increasing attention. In recent years, academic circles have engaged in extensive discussion on the concept, nature, institutional issues, and optimization paths of criminal consequence. Focusing on criminal consequence in the context of minor offense governance, this paper analyzes the concept and nature of criminal consequence and points out the current problems of overly broad and general application standards, excessive number of criminal consequences, extremely harsh application consequences, and improper application procedures. Recommendations are proposed, including improving the criminal consequence model that combines hierarchical and sequential principles, building a supporting criminal consequence mitigation system, and establishing a practical and effective relief mechanism. The aim is to provide theoretical support and practical reference for optimizing the application of my countrys criminal consequence system.
