刑事缺席审判制度是司法公正与效率平衡协调下的产物。域外法治国家的刑事缺席审判制度呈现适用范围小,程序适用尤为谨慎的特点,并通过刑事立法对缺席审判的适用情形、案件类型进行明确规定,尤为强调缺席被告人的诉权保障。我国刑事缺席审判制度侧重解决贪污贿赂等重罪案件被告人外逃问题,应对该制度进行体系完善,以严密的程序设计规范制度运行以保障缺席被告人权益。

The criminal trial in absentia system is the product of the balance and coordination of judicial justice and efficiency.The criminal trial in absentia system in foreign countries under the rule of law is characterized by a small scope of application and particularly cautious application of procedures.Moreover,it clearly stipulates the application situation and case type of trial in absentia through criminal legislation,especially emphasizing the protection of the right of action of defendants in absentia.China's criminal trial system in absentia focuses on solving the problem of the defendant's escaping to foreign countries in serious crimes such as corruption and bribery.The system should be improved systematically and be operated with strict procedural design to protect the rights and interests of defendants in absentia.
