刑事鉴定制度修改的背景、争议及解读

《刑事诉讼法》在鉴定问题上进行了大幅度地修改,改变了鉴定作为证据种类的名称,删除了"省级人民政府指定的医院"的规定,增加了对鉴定人出庭作证及其人身权利保障等内容,其进步意义应当是肯定的。然而,《刑事诉讼法》有关鉴定修改触及的内容均需要从修改的缘故、争议问题被修改的程度以及执行中可能遇到的障碍等方面予以理论分析与诠释,以便对此问题有一个科学的认识与理解。

The Causes, Disputes and Interpretation of the Modification to the Forensic Science in the Criminal Procedure Law.

The Criminal Procedure Law has greatly changed the issues of forensic science.,It changes the name of forensic science as type of evidence,deletes the provision related to the nominated hospitals of the provincial government and adds such contents as expert witnesses appearing in the court and the relevant protection for them.Without any doubt this makes a great sense..However,the modification should be theoretically analyzed and interpreted from the aspects of the modification causes,to what degree the controversial issues being amended,and what obstacles might being met in the implementation.Then we can have a clear and scientific knowledge and understanding of the modification.
