刑事简易程序与被告人诉讼权利保障

Criminal Simplified Procedures and Safeguarding of Defendants Rights of Action

我国新刑诉法借鉴世界大多数国家的立法例,创设了简易程序,满足了司法实践迅速处理刑事案件的需要。但是这一程序设置并不缜密,对被告人诉讼权利关怀不够,亟需在以下几个方面加以完善:限缩简易程序的适案范围、赋予被告人程序选择权、强化辩护制度、建立公诉人出庭制度、明确庭审程序运作等。并认为目前流行的普通程序简易审有侵犯被告人诉讼权利之虞,故不易提倡。

The New Criminal Procedure Code of China, with reference to the practices of most countries in the world, establishes a set of simplified procedure, which greatly expedites the efficiency of handling of criminal cases. However, the new procedure is not scientific or comprehensive, giving insufficient attention to the rights of defendants. Therefore, further amendments are put forward in the paper, such as: narrowing down the applicable scope of this procedure, granting defendants the rights to choice of procedures, enhancing the defending system, setting up a prosecutor's appearance system, and clarifying the hearing procedure, etc. The author argues that the prevalent simplified procedure is prone to infringe upon the action rights of defendants. Therefore, it should not be advocated.
