刑事诉讼程序包括刑事审前程序和刑事审判程序及执行，刑事审前程序包括刑事侦查程序和刑事起诉程序。刑事诉讼中的司法审查主要是指司法机关对侦查措施的事前审查。我国刑事诉讼中司法审查的立法及实践的发展过程，反映了我国刑事程序法治发展的进程，体现了国家法治发展的水平。1979年制定的《刑事诉讼法》在1996年和2012年两次重大修改之后，虽然其他相关制度和程序均有明显的修改、完善，但刑事诉讼中的司法审查，变化却十分有限。深入研究我国刑事诉讼中侦查措施的司法审查制度的完善问题，除了加强、完善关于人身自由的强制性措施的司法审查，还需要研究增加关于涉案财产查封、扣押、冻结等措施的司法审查。
Criminal procedure includes pre-trial procedures，trial procedures and execution procedures. Pretrial procedures can be further divided into criminal investigation procedures and criminal prosecution procedures. Judicial review in criminal proceedings mainly refers to the pre-review of criminal investigation measures by judicial organs. The development of the legislation and practice of judicial review in criminal proceedings in China reflects the development of rule of law in the field of criminal procedure and embodies the level of general development of rule of law in the country. The Chinese Criminal Procedural Law was first adopted in 1996. Although，after the two major revisions in 1996 and 2012，there have been great improvements in various systems and procedures provided for in the Law，little changes have been made to the system of judicial review in criminal proceedings. To further improve the systems of judicial review of investigation measures in the criminal proceedings，China not only needs to strengthen the judicial review of compulsory measures against personal freedom，but also needs to intensify the judical review of compulsory measures against property，such as seal up，seizure，and freezing of property，in the criminal proceedings.
