论我国刑事诉讼证人保护制度的完善

On the Perfection of the System of Witness Protection in Criminal Procedure in China

近年来,证人证言在推动刑事案件进程中的重要性愈发凸显。毫无疑问,良好的证人证言在刑事诉讼进程中对于查明案件事实具有重要作用。但近年来,证人在具体案件中的出庭率畸低,对证人的事前保护与舆论保护不到位,证人保护的外延僵硬,证人保护机关的人力财力也稍显紧张,导致刑事诉讼证人遭到来自各个方向的打击报复的现象屡有发生。在此背景下,笔者撰写本文,适当分析我国当前刑事诉讼中证人保护制度存在的问题,同时从建立统一的证人保护基金和证人保护机构等角度提出解决问题的新方法。这对于促进实现社会的公平正义,完善我国刑事诉讼证人保护制度的法律法规体系,推动司法改革进程,实现全面依法治国的总目标具有重要意义。
