共同犯罪案件认罪认罚从宽制度实证研究

An Empirical Study on the Leniency System for Pleading Guilty and Admitting Punishment in Joint Crime Cases

认罪认罚从宽制度是司法改革的重要组成部分,体现了宽严相济的刑事政策。自2019年最高人民检察院发布实施以来,在司法实践中得到了广泛适用。认罪认罚从宽制度的适用有助于提高司法效率、修复社会正义、保护被告人权益等积极效果,但也面临一些问题。在共同犯罪案件中,如果有部分被告人拒不认罪,案件的整体量刑相对较重,容易对已经认罪的被告人施加过重的刑罚,有违罪责刑相适应原则。通过对2022年H省共同犯罪认罪认罚从宽处罚案件的梳理,发现司法实践中共同犯罪案件认罪从宽处罚制度的现状和面临的问题,提出可供参考的完善建议。

The leniency system for confession and punishment is an important component of judicial reform,reflecting the criminal policy of combining leniency with severity.Since its implementation by the Supreme People’s Procuratorate in 2019,it has been widely applied in judicial practice.The application of the leniency system for confession and punishment can help improve judicial efficiency,restore social justice,and protect the rights and interests of defendants,but it also faces some problems.In a joint crime case,if some defendants refuse to plead guilty,the overall sentencing of the case is relatively heavy,and it is easy to impose excessive penalties on the defendants who have already pleaded guilty,which violates the principle of adapting punishment to responsibility.By sorting out the cases of lenient punishment for joint crimes in H Province in 2022,the current situation and problems faced by the lenient punishment system for joint crime cases in judicial practice are discovered,and suggestions for improvement are proposed for reference.
