检察机关适用认罪认罚从宽制度面临的挑战及应对

Challenges and countermeasures of the procuratorial organs in applying the leniency system of pleading guilty and accepting punishment

认罪认罚从宽是新刑事诉讼法确立的一项基本原则。合作性与恢复性司法理念、控制犯罪与保障人权的诉讼目标、检察官客观义务及法律监督职能为检察机关适用认罪认罚从宽制度提供了理念和制度支撑。在实际运行中,检察机关面临着追诉思维向协商思维转变、控辩审三方诉讼地位失衡、刑罚预防价值缺失、刑罚不均衡及程序效率价值虚化等现实挑战。为应对上述挑战,检察机关应根据罪行轻重和审理程序的不同,树立差异化价值理念,探索公开、透明的协商性工作机制,增强侦捕诉的协同性。

Leniency system of pleading guilty and accepting punishment is a basic principle established by the new criminal procedure law.The concept of cooperative and restorative justice,the litigation goals of controlling crime and protecting human rights,the objective obligation of prosecutors and the legal supervision function provide the concept and system support for the procuratorial organs to apply the leniency system of pleading guilty and accepting punishment.In actual operation,procuratorial organs are faced with practical challenges such as the transformation of prosecution thinking to negotiation thinking,the imbalance of the litigation status of the prosecution,the defense and the trial,the lack of penalty prevention value,the imbalance of penalty and the virtualized value of procedural efficiency.To cope with the above-mentioned challenges,procuratorial organs should establish differentiated values based on the severity of crimes and trial procedures,explore open and transparent consultative working mechanisms,and enhance the coordination of investigations,arrests and prosecutions.
