认罪认罚从宽制度在环境司法中的适用困境及解决——以浙江省为例

Application Dilemma and Solution of Plea and Penalty Leniency System inEnvironmental Justice—Take Zhejiang Province as an Example

认罪认罚从宽制度2018年正式被确立为刑事诉讼的一项基本原则。通过对浙江省具有典型意义的司法判例大数据收集分析,发现认罪认罚从宽制度在环境司法中的适用困境主要体现在以下三个方面:制度自身存在问题、适用过程中检察机关权力扩张、同企业环境刑事合规的区分不够。由于检察机关在认罪认罚从宽制度的司法程序以及环境司法中都发挥着重要作用,需要引入恢复性司法理念,实现控辩审三方权力平衡,完善相关法律规定,提高检察机关能力素质,并构建认罪认罚从宽制度同企业环境刑事合规的区分路径。

The plea bargaining leniency system was formally established as a basic principle of criminal procedure in 2018,and through the collection of judicial precedent big data in the typical Zhejiang Province,it is found that the application dilemma of this system in environmental justice is mainly reflected in the following three aspects:the plea bargaining leniency system itself is problematic;the power of the procuratorate is expanded in the process of its application;and there is insufficient differentiation from the enterprise’s environmental criminal compliance.In addition,it is necessary to put forward relevant recommendations to improve the application of the system of leniency of plea and punishment in the environmental justice.Since the procuratorate plays an important role in both the plea bargaining system and environmental justice,it is necessary to realize the balance of power between the prosecution,the defense and the trial,to improve the relevant legal provisions,to introduce the concept of restorative justice,to improve the capacity of the procuratorate,and to construct a path to differentiate between the plea bargaining system and the environmental criminal compliance of enterprises.
