未成年人刑事案件社会调查报告之法律属性探析

未成年人刑事案件社会调查制度一方面体现了刑罚的教育感化功能,另一方面也符合我国一直坚持的＂教育、感化、挽救＂的少年司法指导方针。若要使该制度发挥其优越的法律和社会效果,关键是明晰社会调查报告的法律属性。只有将定罪程序与量刑程序相分离,以独立的量刑程序为研究视角,结合社会调查报告所记载之内容,才能准确界定其属于量刑证据材料。

The Legal Attribute of the Social Survey about the Juvenile Criminal Cases

The social survey system for the juveniles criminal cases reflects,on one hand,the education function of the penalty,and on the other hand,the guidelines about ＂ educating,probating,saving＂ which our country persist in all the time. The key to produce its good legal and social effect is to determine the legal attribute of the social survey. Only when we separate the conviction procedure from the sentencing one,and take the independent sentencing procedure as the researching topic,can the social survey be decided whether or not it will be accepted as the evidence in sentencing procedure.
