直面认罪协商制度的“复杂性”——《庭审之外的辩诉交易》之方法论启示

Facing the Complexity of the Criminal Negotiation System:Methodological Enlightenment of Plea Bargaining outside the Shadow of Trial

毕贝斯在《庭审之外的辩诉交易》中由'庭审阴影模型'出发,借助社会科学知识,从结构性因素和心理学因素两个层面勾勒出辩诉交易制度背后的'复杂性',进而运用'结构-心理学视角'作出富有解释力的理论尝试。这不仅能为完善认罪认罚从宽制度提供知识参考,还可以被视为社会科学方法介入刑事诉讼法学研究的一个范本,给予方法论启示:刑事诉讼法学研究应当至少具备'实践样态的充分把握''社科知识的合理运用'以及'理论模式的谨慎提炼'三方面要素,方能收获足以直面'复杂性'的理论推进。

In Plea Bargaining outside the Shadow of Trial,Stephanos Bibas started with the Shadow-of-trial model,used social science knowledge to outline the complexity behind the plea bargaining system from the structural and psychological factors,and took Structural-Psychological perspective as an explanatory theoretical attempter.This would not only provide a reference for the leniency on admission of guilty and acceptance of punishment,but also enlighten the methodological use of social science knowledge for the study of criminal procedural law.In order to obtain theoretical progress to face the complexity,the criminal procedural law research should at least possess three elements:full understanding of practice patterns,rational utility of social science knowledge,and prudent refining of theoretical models.
