Abstract

This paper focuses on the relationship between active and passive bribery in job-related crimes, legal penalties, and establishment conditions, and analyzes the behavioral characteristics of job-related crimes committed by local government officials in terms of motivational structural factors, subjective psychology, and the influence of the social environment, such as purposeful and intentional criminal mentality and neglect of professional ethics and laws and regulations. Aiming at the current situation of leadership system, weak supervision of key links, system complementarity and operability, and preventive supervision, we put forward the reconstruction strategies of the power supervision system such as updating concepts, establishing a system of rules for sentencing recommendations for the system of leniency of guilty pleas and penalties, reinforcing the supervision of disciplinary commissions and supervisory committees with special responsibility, and establishing an effective mechanism of information sharing and collaboration, etc., with the aim of preventing and punishing job-related crimes of local government officials, and perfecting the system of power supervision. It aims to provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for the prevention and punishment of local government officials' duty crimes and the improvement of the power supervision system.
