The mainland law stipulates that the children of convicts are not allowed to take the civil service examination, but more and more people have begun to put forward opinions on this kind of legal provision, and they believe that this kind of provision is somewhat unreasonable, because if one person makes a mistake and one person bears it, it should not affect the family members, especially the children, and they cannot take the civil service examination and cannot participate in important work, which is extremely unreasonable.
So, should the provision that "children of criminals cannot take the civil service examination" be abolished?
Continental law clearly stipulates that there is a corresponding price to be paid for the crime. It has an impact on the education of children, for example, if a child is admitted to a military academy, he cannot be admitted. Some work involving state secrets cannot be assigned to the children of criminals, no matter how good you are. Many citizens have expressed their opinion that the regulations on such strains are unreasonable and should be repealed or adjusted.
If such a provision is abolished or adjusted, it means that all the living and political rights and interests of the convict's children will not be affected. The issue of the children of convicts taking public examinations has once again aroused the attention and discussion of the people of the whole country, and some people believe that this restriction should not be lifted, otherwise the crime rate will increase. Because this kind of regulation also indirectly restricts people's behavior, it has a certain deterrent effect. Some people give up sin because they think about their family members before committing crimes.
For the children or relatives of criminals, there is no impact on ordinary life, but it will be affected when applying for some specific jobs, and they cannot engage in some jobs. Among them is the civil service examination, which is absolutely impossible to pass. Then there are police academies, military academies, and fire schools, which are also impossible to pass admission. When he finishes college, it is impossible to arrange an important position for him when arranging a job, because the relevant materials cannot be approved. With the same level of ability, but with many fewer opportunities than others, it must be a pity.
To be clear, the offender's actions should be borne by him/herself, and his children should not be held responsible. In practice, legal provisions and humanitarian principles should be followed to ensure equal rights and opportunities for the children of offenders.
Some people also believe that such provisions violate the mainland constitution and do not conform to the spirit of the modern legal system, and should be abolished long ago. The results of the revisions have not yet been officially announced, and may still be discussed. But to be clear, once this law is amended, it will definitely have an impact on society. The crime rate on the mainland is very low among more than 200 countries in the world, and once the strain is lifted, the crime rate will inevitably increase.
But now it's 2024, people's thinking is progressing, and laws and regulations should be formulated with the thinking of the current generation. If we blindly stick to the old ways, a person's criminal punishment for a crime will affect his children and relatives, and the main scope of influence is in three aspects: the first is to join the army, and it is impossible to join the army, and it cannot be passed during the political trial. The second is the public examination, which also has a political examination, which is not passed. The third is that you can't enter important positions, and even if your grades are good, you can only do ordinary work. All of this is grossly unfair to those affected.
Some people say that "dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice give birth to burrows", and there is a saying that "if there is a father, there must be a son". The meaning of these two sentences is that the children's personality may be influenced by their elders, and the children of criminals may also have criminal tendencies.
However, no scientist in the world has experimentally proved that the children of criminals have similar personalities to criminals, and that the children of criminals are bound to commit crimes, or that their personalities tend to be prone to crime. On the contrary, after some adults commit crimes, their children hate the criminals very much, and become good and well-behaved people who contribute to society. Therefore, if an adult is a bad person, whether his child will become a bad person or not depends mainly on the education and guidance of the day after tomorrow.
Some of the children of criminals will be discriminated against by other people in society, and in life, some of them will feel that they cannot hold their heads up, and they themselves will suffer a major psychological blow. We should no longer deprive them of their legitimate rights and interests, but this is a social problem, just like the truth that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and it cannot be solved by the law alone. It requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society.
I personally have some suggestions that can care for the children of criminals, just for reference. To increase the legal protection of the children of convicts, the state should formulate relevant laws and regulations to clarify the rights and obligations of the children of convicts and protect their basic rights and interests.
The government should increase its support for the education of the children of convicts, provide more educational resources and assistance, and correctly guide them, so that they cannot follow the wrong path of their parents, but become good people who are useful to society.
The third aspect is the mental health of the children of offenders, who may be traumatized by their parents' criminal behavior, and society should provide mental health support and help to help them relieve psychological pressure. Members of the community should avoid discrimination and exclusion.
Where convicts are unable to manage their children because they are imprisoned, the state should provide substantial support and assistance to such families, ensure their quality of life, ensure their mental health, and Xi school the same as normal children. Only in this way can they grow up healthily and integrate into society.
The issue of the children of convicts taking the civil service examination is a very controversial issue. Do you think that the rule that children of criminals cannot take public examinations should be abolished?
