检察机关适用刑事和解的思考

Thinking on the Application of Criminal Reconciliation by Procuratorate

近年来,在宽严相济的刑事政策和构建社会主义和谐社会的背景下,刑事和解制度备受关注,2012年新修订的《中华人民共和国刑事诉讼法》更是以专章的形式在特别程序中增设了《当事人和解的公诉案件诉讼程序》。此举无疑为检察机关刑事和解的司法实践提供了必要的法律依据和制度支撑。然而对于检察机关适用刑事和解的相关问题,学术界和实务界仍有所争议。本文分析了检察机关适用刑事和解的司法实践及存在的问题,并提出了相关建议,以期推动此项制度的进一步完善。

Recently, under the background of the criminal policy of tempering justice with mercy and the construction of a harmonious society, the criminal reconciliation has aroused much attention. Especially, in 2012 the newly revised ＂Criminal Procedure Law of the People＇s Republic of China＂ has added the new chapter： ＂Reconciliation in cases of public prosecution procedure＂ in its special pro- gram. That action is undoubtedly providing the necessary legal basis and institutional support for the pocuratorate. However, .the academic and practice still have much disagreement or controversy on that system. The article analyzes the Criminal Reconciliation juridical practice and problems which applied by Procuratorate, and makes relevant recommendations in order to promote the further improvement of this system.
