构建独立多功能的庭前审查程序——以遵循司法规律为视角

本文以庭前审查程序在我国的确立、适用及修法缘由为切入点,重点对1996年《刑事诉讼法》关于庭前审查程序的修改及由此导致司法实践中出现的各种问题作出修法检讨,在此基础上对理论界与实务界提出的各种改革建议和措施进行了评述,认为这些改革措施未能从根本上解决问题的原因是未将庭前审查程序设置为独立的诉讼程序。提出我国应遵循司法规律要求,将庭前审查程序设置为独立的诉讼程序,并赋予其多种功能。     

论庭审实质化的体系化构建——以“顾雏军案”再审为例

落实庭审实质化是实现以审判为中心的诉讼制度改革目标的关键,是对复杂刑事案件进行公正审判的必要条件。“顾雏军案”的再审纠错过程,体现了庭前会议制度的运用与直接言词审理原则的贯彻对于体系化构建庭审实质化的重要作用,为实现复杂刑事案件的公正审判带来了诸多有益启示。庭审实质化的实现,不仅需要完善庭前会议制度以及直接言词审理原则的相关制度,更需要刑事诉讼办案人员提升执业素养与办案理念。     

Notes on the Canadian exception: security certificates in critical context

This paper attempts to place the Canadian security certificate program in critical context. The program is a mechanism of arbitrary detention targeted to non-citizens the state has certified as ‘threats’ to national security. As a mechanism of arbitrary detention the program fully locates Canadian policies inside of, and not in some manner external to, the worst abuses and ‘exceptional practices’ associated with the ‘global war on terror’. To place this program in critical context, the author draws upon the notion of ‘exception’. Although the security certificate program does invoke an exceptional practice in the terms made legible in recent discussions in critical security studies, it also points to ways in which critical discussions of ‘exception’ might be deepened and complicated. To this end, the paper put forwards the notion of the ‘legal complex’ to highlight the mundane and often contested ways in which the exception is invoked to certify which racialized bodies might be governed as political citizens and which will be governed as ‘bare life’.     

非羁押性刑事强制措施探析

刑事强制措施的改革是刑事审前程序改革的要害所在,而非羁押性刑事强制措施的设计是否科学、适用是否公正,不仅对整个刑事强制措施体系有着直接影响,而且也关系到每个被追诉者,甚至每个公民人身自由权的保障。应当正确认识非羁押性刑事强制措施,重构刑事强制措施体系。     

看守所审前羁押情况调研报告

本调研报告以某市级中型看守所作为调研对象。除反映该看守所的基本情况之外 ,又抽取一部分对象集中进行了问卷调查 ,从看守所的客观环境、非法滞留与非法刑讯、相关的执法程序、律师参与情况、被羁押人的容忍性等五个方面进行了调研。反映出看守所的物质生活条件亟需改善 ;刑讯逼供等问题仍然十分突出 ;执法环境急需改善 ;被羁押人员的容忍度显示相应的改革可以分步渐进性地进行。     

律师在审前羁押期间的作用分析

通过对某市级看守所犯罪嫌疑人和被告人在审前羁押期间律师所起作用的调查可以看出,在司法实践中,存在着刑事律师难以发挥作用的问题,致使被羁押中的犯罪嫌疑人、被告人的合法权益得不到全面保障。为此,应在立法中扩大律师的权利,在司法中加强宣传教育与机制建设。     

JUDICIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Judicial Dispute Resolution or JDR is a pre-trial settlement process involving judges as settlement facilitators. In October 2000 the Family and Youth Court in Edmonton, Alberta launched a yearlong JDR pilot project to determine whether JDR would help in resolving family and child welfare matters before the court. The project was very successful and has become a permanent program in Edmonton. This article explains how the Edmonton JDR polit project was set up and evaluated as well as its success as a permanent program. The article describes the JDR process in detail and discusses the current statistics from the program. The design and development of the new JDR Centre in the Edmonton courthouse is also addressed.

Prison Population Inflation, Overcrowding and Recidivism the Situation in France

Before looking at the latest research into the recidivism of long-term prisoners which was carried out in France, a general overview is presented as well as an analysis of the change to the French prison population over the last 20 years; a study of the prison population inflation, based on the triptych: stock, flow, duration, as well as the evolution of penal and socio-demographic structures. To study the problem of prison overcrowding, the authors applied a statistical method called concentration analysis, first introduced into prison demography by Pierre Tournier in the work of the Council for Penological Co-operation (Council of Europe).
