刑事简易程序改革的分析与思考

The Analysis and Thinking of the Reform of Criminal Summary Procedure

《刑事诉讼法》修改了刑事简易程序的相关内容,对简易程序进行了完善,这对于提高诉讼效率和保护被告人权利有着积极的意义。但是,刑事简易程序仍然存在一些问题,如审前程序简化不足、对被告人辩护权的保护仍需完善、简易程序向普通程序转换缺乏必要限制、简易程序存在被滥用的风险等,今后应扩大简化审前程序,建立简易程序中的强制辩护制度及简易程序向普通程序转化审查监督制度,使简易程序进一步完善。

The relevant content of criminal summary procedure was modified in Code of Criminal Procedure to improve the system of summary procedure, which is positive for the efficiency of the proceedings and pro-tecting the rights of the accused. However, the criminal summary procedure still has some problems, such as lack of simplification of the pre-trial procedures, improvement of protecting the right to defense of the ac-cused, lack of necessary limits of the conversion from summary procedure to ordinary procedure, and the risk of the summary procedure being abused. Our criminal summary procedure should extend and simplify pre-trial procedures, establish the mandatory defense system and the system of examination and supervision on the conversion from summary procedure to ordinary procedure, which can further improve the summary procedure.
