The implementation of the leniency system for confessing and accepting punishment for jobrelated crimes plays an important role in improving judicial efficiency and saving judicial resources, but it also exposes the problem of difficulty in achieving sentencing balance in judicial practice. Starting from the characteristics of job-related crimes and the legal basis of the leniency system for confession and punishment, this article analyzes the main difficulties in judicial practice, including the conflict between sentencing balance and legal application, the difficulty of reviewing the authenticity of the defendant’s confession, and the public’s disagreement with the sentencing results. By analyzing the causes, it was found that institutional design, judicial resource limitations, and social cognitive biases are the main influencing factors. To address the above issues, this article proposes optimization paths such as improving sentencing guidance for jobrelated crimes, strengthening judicial resource allocation, enhancing public awareness and judicial transparency, and improving sentencing recommendation review mechanisms, in order to promote sentencing fairness and enhance judicial credibility.
