美、德被害人制度新发展之述评

Review of the New Development of Victim Systems in U.S.and Germany

被害人在刑事诉讼中的地位与刑事诉讼的构造、模式密切相关,是刑事诉讼的基本问题之一,但就其具体制度构建而言学术界至今众说纷纭、莫衷一是。美、德两国分别作为英美法系和大陆法系的代表国家,通过对其被害人制度的新发展——美国的"刑事被害人权利运动"和德国的"附带诉讼制度"加以介绍和分析,无疑将对我国现行被害人制度研究带来一些启示。

Victim＇ s status, one of the fundamental questions in criminal action, has a close connection with the structure and model of the criminal action. Till now, however, opinions are quite divided among the academic circles about its system construction. Introducing and discussing the new development of victim systems in U.S. and Germany, which is separately the representative of the Anglo-American law system and the continental law system, will definitely bring some thinking and inspiration to the recent research on the victim system in our country.
