Abstract:
The legislation on minor offenders needs to be further improved. China’s Criminal Law should clearly indicate that property punishment doesn’t apply to minor offenders and establish the system for the elimination of their crime records. Meanwhile, China’s Criminal Law should also precisely stipulate special cases that life imprisonment can be applied to minors and state the situations that parole can be applied to minor offenders as well as the minimum prison terms in actual execution, whereby a clear basis for the sentencing of minor offenders and its execution can be resorted.

Key words: property punishment, life imprisonment, parole, elimination of crime record
