限制我国审前羁押程序改良的主要原因及对策

The Main Reasons and Countermeasures of Restricting the Reform of China's Pretrial Detention Procedure

审前羁押程序是指为了保障侦查、审判和刑罚执行等刑事诉讼活动的顺利进行,依法使犯罪嫌疑人在法院审判之前被司法机关暂时限制、剥夺人身自由的一系列行为。审前羁押可以避免被追诉人逃避诉讼、实施妨碍证据的行为或者继续实施犯罪行为,从而保护国家、社会和他人的安全,确保刑事诉讼顺利进行、国家刑罚权最终得以实现,但往往会侵犯未经法院判决定罪的犯罪嫌疑人的权利。目前,妨碍我国审前羁押程序改革、造成审前羁押被普遍适用的主要原因在于审前释放的安全性无法得到保障,致使羁押措施的适用越来越广泛。因此,要想使我国审前羁押程序改革有实质性的进展,就必须提高审前释放的安全性。

Pretrial detention procedure refers to such activities that in order to ensure the investigation,trial and execution of penalty are done smoothly,the suspect is confined and deprived of freedom legally for the time being by the judicial authority before the trial. Pretrial detention can avoid that the investigated individual escapes from criminal proceedings,hinders litigation evidence or continues committing crimes,so that country,society and other people can be protected,criminal proceedings can go successfully,country＇s penalty power can be achieved.However,the rights of the suspect are liable to be infringed before he or she is convicted by the court. Nowadays,the fact that safety of pretrial release cannot be guaranteed is the main reason that the reform of China＇s pretrial detention procedure is hampered and pretrial detention are applied widely. Then,the measures of detention are used extensively. Therefore,a substantial progress can be made in the reform of China＇s pretrial detention procedure only on the premise that safety of pretrial release must be enhanced.
