新加坡检察裁量权之法律规制及其启示

Legal Regulation of Prosecutorial Discretion in Singapore and Its Enlightenment

检察裁量权是刑事诉讼运行机制中的重要枢纽。新加坡自1965年建立检察制度后,检察官就拥有起诉、不起诉、变更起诉、辩诉交易等广泛的裁量权。值得注意的是,新加坡检察裁量权运行的效果良好,至今没有检察官因为滥用裁量权而被追究责任,新加坡法律对检察裁量权的保障及规制起到了很好的双重推动作用。我国检察机关正在推进司法责任制改革,新加坡的经验做法会为此提供很好的启示。

Prosecutorial discretion is an important hinge in the operation mechanism of criminal procedure.Since the establishment of the prosecutorial system in 1965,the prosecutors in Singapore have extensive discretion,such as prosecution,non-prosecution,changing prosecution,plea bargaining and so on.It is worth noting that the operation of prosecutorial discretion in Singapore has a good effect and so far no prosecutor has been held responsible for abuse of discretion because Singapore law has played a dual role in promoting the protection and regulation of prosecutorial discretion.China’s procuratorial organs are pushing the judicial responsibility system reform and Singapore’s experience and practice can provide a good reference.
