Study on the Application of Criminal Law to Usury

Abstract

In recent years, usury has become a prominent phenomenon, and there are different opinions on how to deal with usury. Usury lending, which should be sentenced, is a kind of continuous high-interest lending behavior aiming at the unspecified majority. It can be applied to the crime of illegal business operation to investigate criminal responsibility for two reasons: one is that the act of Usury lending conforms to the constitutional requirements of the crime of illegal business operation in criminal law; the other is that the existing successful cases can be used for reference.
