刑事鉴定制度修改完善的几个关键问题

Some Key Issues Regarding the Improvement of the Criminal Appraisal System

全国人大常委会于2011年8月30日发布《刑事诉讼法修正案(草案)》,向社会公开征询意见。根据常委会初审的意见和征询意见将作必要的修改,其中对鉴定制度的修改,涉及几个关键性的问题,主要包括:鉴定结论的名称问题、鉴定人出庭作证问题、精神病鉴定及其强制医疗问题等。对这些问题的规定、完善都应当建立在对刑事鉴定制度模式的准确定位基础之上。然而,修正案对这些问题的规定虽有进步之处,但也存在不足,亟需在对刑诉法进行修改之时予以完善。
