证人拒绝出庭作证不应犯罪化

Refusing in Testimony of Witness should be Regarded as Criminal Act

在解决证人出庭率低下的种种改革方案中,将证人拒绝出庭作证行为犯罪化的立法思路极其有害。这不但不能有效促使证人出庭,而且还会导致理论和实践上的种种恶果。应提倡一种以“激励”而非“强迫”为指导思想的促使证人出庭作证的整体思路。

Among those suggestions of resolving witness＇act in testmony, the way of crimination is very harmful. It will result in many bad effects. We should reconstruct the legal system to encourage witness to testify in court.
