浅析“刑事和解”制度

On the System of “Criminal Reconciliation”

刑事和解"作为一种新型的刑事诉讼纠纷解决机制,它是应时代的发展产生的较为人性化、注重人道主义、适度宽松灵活、诉讼成本低廉的现代纠纷解决制度。它不同于"辩诉交易""恢复性司法"等相近的制度,是社会转型时期新型矛盾层出不穷时的一种制度。它在带给轻微刑事案件更加便捷处理方式的同时,也可能因为没有立法对此制度的规定,侵害着其他的法益。本文就针对此制度在实践中的适用及使用过程中呈现出的弊端提出相应的完善建议,以期为制度改革完善提供参考。

Criminal reconciliation, a new dispute resolution mechanism of criminal lawsuits, is a modern dispute settlement system which is relatively humanized, humanism-oriented, flexible and of cheap litigation cost to fit the times. Different from such similar systems as ＂plea bargaining＂ and ＂restorative justice＂, the system of ＂criminal reconciliation＂ arises in the society-transitional era when new contradictions emerge in endlessly. Though it brings a more convenient way to dispose minor criminal eases, the system of ＂criminal reconciliation＂ may also infringe other interests due to its lack of corresponding legal stipulation. Targeting at the disadvantages in practical application of such system, this paper proposes relevant suggestions for improvement and hopes to provide references for the reformation and development of the system.
