新刑事简易程序述评——正当性语境下的考察

Review of New Criminal Summary Procedure——An Investigation in Context of Legitimacy

2012年3月新近通过的刑诉法修正案对现行简易程序做了大幅修改,确立起了全新的刑事简易程序体系。新的刑事简易程序更好地平衡了诉讼经济、效率与被告人权利保障的关系,但仍然具有程序模式单一、适用阶段和简化力度有限、被告人权利保障不足、相关配套缺失等不足与遗憾。本文立足于刑事简易程序的正当性基础,试从诉讼经济与效率之追求和正当审判程序与被告人权利保障两方面对此次刑事简易程序改革加以述评。

A new criminal summary procedure system has been established ever since the Amendment to the Criminal Procedure Law was issued in March 2012.This new criminal summary procedure is better at balancing litigation economy and efficiency as well as protecting the defendants' rights,yet it has some shortcomings like less diversity,short of adaptiveness,inadequacy,and absence of consistent mechanisms etc.This paper justifies this criminal summary procedure,and examines the reform of such organism from perspectives of litigation economy and efficiency,legitimacy and protection of the defendants' rights.
