This article provides a comprehensive review of China's legislative and judicial responses to crimes against abducted and sold women and children. It examines whether increasing punishment for buyers and implementing equal punishment for buyers and sellers is justified. Using data from the "Beida FaBao" database and MATLAB software, the study reveals a decline in human trafficking crimes but identifies four provinces with higher incidence rates. The article suggests that applying existing legal provisions and decision-making rules from typical cases is more effective than legal amendments to increase punishment.
