轻刑化背景下刑事附带民事诉讼调解制度之完善

Improvement of the System of Mediation in Pertaining Civil Action to Criminal Procedure against the Background of Light Punishment

刑事附带民事诉讼调解制度的发展与近年来刑事司法轻刑化运动密切相关。当事人达成了调解协议,往往意味着被告人能积极悔罪、减轻社会危害后果且得到被害人谅解,从而导致对刑事部分的从宽处理。鉴于刑事附带民事诉讼调解与普通民事诉讼调解存在诸多不同,我国立法应对其设计特别的调解程序规则,特别是应该在适用范围、当事人的知情权、调解人的权限以及调解协议的执行等方面予以完善。

The development of the system of mediation in pertaining civil action to criminal procedure has close relations to the light-punishment movement of criminal justice in recent years.The mediation agreement reached between the victim and the defendant,which means that the victim has forgiven the contrite defendant and the dangerous consequence of the crime mitigated,will lead to lenient punishments of cirme.Because the mediation in pertaining civil action to criminal procedure has many differences from the mediation in general civil action,mediation rules of procedure of it should be instituted in particular,which includes the scope of application,parties rights to information,authorities of mediator and the enforcement of the mediation agreement.
