刑事程序失灵和程序法的人性假设

Criminal Procedural Failure and the Assumption about Human Nature of Procedural Law

人性假设是设计法律制度的逻辑起点,也是评判法律制度实效的重要参考,中国刑事程序法对司法官员的人性假设是公而忘私的"道德人"。过去十余年的司法运作中,诸多刑事程序在司法实践中面临被不断规避、架空和搁置的尴尬境地,而程序法对司法官员基本人性假设的错位,是程序制度失灵发生的深层次原因。只有理性的认识到司法官员的"经济人"角色,程序制度的失灵才可能得到克服。

Assumption about human nature is the logical starting point for designing legal system, and it is also an important reference for evaluating the effect of legal system. The assumption about human na- ture for judicial officials in Chinese criminal procedural law is ＂Moral Man＂, in the past ten years, there are problems of evasion and dodgery in the application process of criminal procedural law. In fact, the mis- placing of the human nature assumption is an underlying cause for the failure of procedural system. Crimi- nal procedural failure can only be overcome by recognizing the ＂Economic Man＂ features of judicial officials.
