论刑事立案前的初查

On the Preliminary Investigation before Filing the Criminal Case

刑事立案前的初查在我国刑事诉讼实践中被广泛应用,但我国《刑事诉讼法》对此却没有明确规定,使得初查的性质和法律地位不明确,在实践中导致了许多问题。但从应然的角度分析初查的性质和法律地位,初查实质上就是侦查性质的调查活动,属于刑事诉讼程序的范畴;因此,我国应借鉴国外的相关立法,取消立案的独立性,从立法上明确规定初查制度,以同理论和实践相吻合。

The preliminary investigation is widely applied in practice, but the Code of Criminal Procedure of China lacks any stipulation on it. The unclear legal status of the preliminary investigation results a lot of problems. Theoretically, the preliminary investigation should be regarded as part of criminal investigative activities, and the code should abrogate the independence of filing the criminal case in light of relevant foreign legislations, and affirm the preliminary investigation unequivocally in order to adapt itself to practical needs.
