用人道的程序实现正义——贝卡里亚刑事程序法思想研究

Achieve Justice Through Humane Procedures

贝卡里亚被誉为"近代刑法学之父",后人对其思想的解读多限于刑事实体法领域。实际上贝卡里亚并未泾渭分明地区分实体法与程序法,他对纠问式诉讼模式痼疾严重、刑讯逼供泛滥、非理性证明方式主导审判等现象进行了深刻反思。在《论犯罪与刑罚》一书中,贝卡里亚的刑事程序法思想主要体现在以下三个方面:主张无罪推定、反对刑讯逼供、反思证据制度,并在这三个方面形成了自己独特的理论体系。对贝卡里亚刑事程序法思想的解读不仅有助于全面研究贝卡里亚的思想,而且对探究现代刑事程序法形成的理论基础具有重要意义。

Beccaria is known as the ＂father of modem criminal law＂ whose achievements have mainly been in- terpreted in the field of substantive criminal law. In fact, Beccaria did not dearly distinguish the substantive law from the procedural law. Based on the profound reflection on the phenomena of the serious chronic inquisitional modes, the proliferation of extorting confessions by torture, and other non - rational trials, Beccaria wrote the book ＂On Crime and Punishment＂ in which he created his theoretical system of criminal procedural law on three aspects ： presumption of innocence, opposition of obtaining confessions by torture, and evaluation of rational evidence sys- tem. Research into Beccaria＇ s thinking of criminal procedure can not only provide us with a comprehensive inter- pretation of Beccaria. but also helo us explore the theoretical basis of modem criminal procedural law.
