Application of legal psychology in risk prevention mechanism of digital society

The study of legal psychology can actively promote the legal adjustments of traditional social relationships, which is already reflected in the current legislation in China. Provisions regarding the mental health of citizens can be found in various written laws and legal articles. For example, the Criminal Law clearly distinguishes the criminal responsibility of mentally ill patients, while the Administrative Penalty Law has special provisions regarding the cognitive status of intellectually disabled individuals. In terms of judicial practice, in response to the increase in juvenile delinquency issues in recent years, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate have issued multiple judicial interpretations to provide case guidance. In the rapidly developing era of informatization, facing the emergence of a digital society such as the "metaverse", it is crucial to exploit the future research emphasis of legal psychology.
