The abolition of the reeducation-through-labor system is an important process in the development of rule of law in China. However，it should be pointed out that some administrative detention measures similar to reeducation-through-labor still remain under the current administrative law system in China，such as institutionalized education of persons engaging in prostitution and whoring，of juvenile delinquents who have not reached the age for criminal liability when committing crimes，and of persons undergoing compulsory drug rehabilitation. The direction of reform of these administrative detention measures should be security measures imposed by judicial decisions.
