In principle, criminal forfeiture shall be pronounced at the time of the judgment. Additionally, criminal forfeiture applies to the defendant's assets only. Things used in the commission of or preparation for the commission of an offense, or derived from or acquired through the commission of an offense cannot be seized if there is no prosecution, trial, or judgment. Civil forfeiture in the United States legal system does not depend on convictions, has a lower requirement of burden of proof, and wider scope. The Supreme Court of the United States made several judgments with respect to the civil forfeiture, and the Congress has revised relative provisions for a few times. This article recommends that we should adopt civil forfeiture, and provides some suggestions. They includes the new civil forfeiture should apply to cases where the defendants flee or cannot appear at trial; the seized assets should not be the budget of the law enforcement, or should be limited to a reasonable portion; civil forfeiture should be in line with the proportionality requirement; prosecutors should provide preponderance of evidence or clear and convincing evidence in the proceeding; the right to counsel shall apply to the civil forfeiture; and the innocent owner defense and economic hardship defense should also be adopted.
