刑事证人出庭作证问题新探

对刑事案件证人出庭作证率低的问题,主流学者几乎都是持否定态度。这种观点没有意识到在我国特有的司法环境中刑事案件证人不出庭有其现实合理性。基于对不出庭作证证人的区分,深入地讨论了证人出庭率低的深层次原因是我国司法制度本身对证人出庭之排斥。在详细分析了证人出庭作证率低的原因后,尝试借用经济学上的"供需平衡"理论,针对未出庭证人的两种情况分别提出方案,以期解决该问题。

In criminal cases, almost all the mainstream scholars hold a negative attitude toward the problem of low rate of the witnesses in attendance upon the court. However, this view did not realize the reasonable reality of the criminal witnesses who failed to attend the court in our unique judicial environment. Based on the distinction of the witness, this article believes that the reason why the low rate of the witnesses in attendance upon the court is that China＇s judicial system itself is on the exclusion of witnesses. After a detail analysis, this paper attempts to resolving the problem using a economical theory which is on supply and demand balance.
