The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate and analyze essentials of ”relative nonprosecution” regulated by Articles 253 and 254 in criminal procedure law of the Republic of China and then provide viewpoints on discrepancies between the practice and the academia. Hopefully, these viewpoints can aid future amendment. The secondary aim is to explore problems resulting from ”appeal against nonprosecution” and propose adding rights of ”appeal against nonprosecution” respectively for the accused and the judicial police to whom a case is transferred when relevant articles are amended. Also, this study examines and discusses in depth effects of ”relative nonprosecution” in the current ROC criminal procedure law, such as Articles 253, 253-2, 256, 259, and 259-1. Lastly, the study probes and poses questions on ”material finality of nonprosecution.” Hopefully, they can inspire both the practice and the academia to re-ponder over the significant issues related to nonprosecution.
