刑事和解实践中的行动者——法社会学视野下的制度变迁与行动者逻辑

真正的制度创造者实际上是社会上的各个利益主体和行动者,历史就是在各个主体的行动中推进的。在各个主体行动的利益考量、相互博弈等过程中显示出制度运作的最为真实的生存逻辑。在刑事和解的制度化进程中,首先,作为行动者之一的司法机关不但在宏观上成为刑事和解在我国制度化的一个重要推动力量,而且在微观上,即在刑事和解的具体个案中,其以国家法律的权威和强制力量作为后盾,从程序上决定着刑事和解程序的启动、进行,以及和解后的处理结果等;其次,如果说,司法机关决定着刑事和解程序的启动、运作方式以及和解成功后的处理方式,那么当事人的博弈和实践便决定着案件的发展方向;最后,在这一系列的事件和宏观进程中,民众以及学者也以自身的方式参与其中,成为刑事和解制度化的重要推动因素和催化剂。

Participants in Criminal Settlement: Evolution and Logics Viewed from Legal Sociology

Real builders of a system are indeed the stakeholders and actors in a society with whose activities history is spurred forward.Surviving and operating logic of a system is thus revealed in the process of competition of the actors for benefits.During the systematization of criminal settlement,the judiciary,a participant in the process,is not only held on the macro-level an important catalyst,but also deemed on the micro-level as a decisive factor backed with authority of laws and coercive force to determine the start,operation ways and dealing with post-settlement affairs of criminal settlement.Furthermore,where the said matters are subject to the judiciary,direction and tendency of the case is then up to the wrestle of the parties.Ultimately,in the macro process of a series of events,the public and scholars will also be invited to participate with respective manner as an important stimulation and catalyst in criminal settlement.
