我国精神病人司法处置问题与对策

Problems and Countermeasures of Judicial Disposal of Mental Patients in China

在精神病人刑事案件处理过程中,司法机关注重对涉案精神病人进行事后惩罚,而忽视了事前预防制度。刑事法治的进步必然要求转变司法理念,积极应对精神病人犯罪控制和矫正预防问题,兼顾打击犯罪与保障人权的双重价值,注重刑事实体法和程序法、刑事法律与非刑事法律的衔接,通过调动国家司法与精神卫生两大体系的资源,采取事前预防和事后处罚相结合的处置方式,实现社会预防与人权保障的统一。

In the course of dealing with criminal cases of mental patients,judicial departments attach great importance to the subsequent punishment when ignoring precaution. To develop criminal legality,the judicial departments should transform judicial philosophy,face the problem of criminal controlling and precaution actively,and take into account the dual value of fighting crime and safeguarding human rights. Besides,they should also pay attention to the connection between criminal substantive law and criminal procedure law,between criminal law and other laws. By coordinating judicial system and mental hygiene system,they can take actions by combining the precaution and the subsequent punishment so as to unify social prevention and guarantee of human rights.
