民国检察官的刑事和解及当代启示——以浙江龙泉司法档案为例

Enlightenment of procuratorial criminal mediation in the period of the Republic of China: A survey on Longquan judicial archives

晚清以还,西法引入加剧了法律现代化与法律传统之间的紧张关系。国家法已经废除的刑事和解在民国基层司法中依旧具有旺盛的生命力。龙泉司法档案中反映出的刑事和解主要集中在检察官起诉阶段,而检察官刑事和解分为检察官主持调解和官批民调两种模式。它对当下刑事和解制度的探索和建构具有重要的借鉴意义。以西方法律制度作为背景资源,坚持本土法律发展的自主性,实现传统文化的革新,是一种现实的选择,也是一种学术担当。

Criminal mediation is a traditional dispute resolution in China. In the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, western law was introduced. But criminal mediation still occupied a fairly large proportion in criminal judicial practice. Criminal mediation in the period of the Republic of China was mainly concentrated on the phase of indictment. Procuratorial criminal mediation can be divided into two modes, namely, official mediation and government-approved mediation. The practice gives us important enlightenment to build criminal settlement system now. We should insist on the autonomy of the local legal development, which is not only a realistic option, but also an academic responsibility.
