我国的刑事强制医疗制度研究

Research on the Criminal Compulsory Medical Treatment System in China

强制医疗是刑事诉讼法中的一项特别的程序,其适用对象为具有人身危险性以及社会危害性的精神病人。刑事强制医疗本质上是违背病人本身及其近亲属意愿的制度,限制与剥夺了病人的人身自由,如果适用不当,将对病人的基本人权造成侵犯,因此必须审慎适用。从当前的情况来看,我国的强制医疗程序仍存在一定的问题,不论是在规则设计、执行程序,还是后续的保障机制方面,都应当予以进一步的完善,以此实现刑事强制医疗这一特殊程序的设立初衷,帮助精神病人尽快战胜病魔,回归社会,更好地生活。

Compulsory medical treatment is a special procedure in the Code of Criminal Procedure, which applies to mentally ill persons who are physically dangerous and socially harmful. Criminal compulsory medical treatment is essentially a system that goes against the will of the patient and his close relatives, restricts and deprives the patient of his personal freedom, and if applied improperly, it will violate the patient’s basic human rights, so it must be applied carefully. Judging from the current situation, there are still certain problems in China’s compulsory treatment procedures, whether in the design of rules, enforcement procedures, or follow-up safeguard mechanisms, it should be further improved, so as to realize the original intention of the establishment of the special procedure of criminal compulsory treatment, and help the mentally ill overcome the disease as soon as possible, return to society, and live a better life.
