刑事诉讼法修改若干问题研究

Several Issues in the Amendment of Criminal Procedure Law

为因应十八大以来中央推进的一系列法治改革带来的制度性需求,立法者以法律修正的模式对刑事诉讼法进行了修改。概言之,具体内容包括衔接《监察法》的制度修正、刑事缺席审判制度的现实化与认罪认罚从宽制度的法律化。本次修法虽为局部性修改,但其对法律体系统一、刑事法制完善等方面的意义是不言而喻的。法律的生命在于实施,由于配套的法律解释尚未全部出台,理论界与实务界对法律修正部分的理解与适用可能存在一些问题。为理清这些问题,我们应当从立法背景、指导精神以及制度设计等方面对本次修法的内容予以解读。

In response to the institutional needs brought about by a series of legal reforms promoted by the central government since the 18th CPC National Congress,the legislator has amended the Criminal Procedure Law with the law-amendment model.In summary,the general contents of the amendment include the institutional revision for linking the National Supervisory Law,the institutionalization of criminal trial in absentia,and the legalization of the lenient treatment system for admission of guilt and acceptance of punishment.Although this amendment is a partial modification,its significance to the unification of the legal system and the improvement of the criminal legal system is self-evident.The life of law lies in the implementation.Since the supporting legal interpretation and implementation rules have yet been issued,there might be a series of questions in the understanding and application of the legal amendment by the legal circles.In order to clarify these issues,the contents of the amendment should be interpreted from the aspects of legislative background,guiding principles and system design.
