【摘要】：在司法实践中,被害人谅解书作为死刑适用最重要的非规范因素,对死刑裁量具有实际性的刑事政策影响。这种非规范性的参与折射出被害人参与刑事司法的现实困境。一方面,以经济赔偿为对价的被害人谅解书引发社会公众对死刑适用问题的广泛质疑;另一方面,制度性参与机制的缺失导致被害人家属对出具谅解书漫天要价或只求被告人一死的诉讼策略选择。制度经济学的分析范式揭示出被害人谅解选择影响死刑适用的现象,是特定法律市场中交易成本与法律收益之间博弈的结果,具有经济学上的理性特征。由此,化解被害人参与刑事司法的困境,既要增加法律公共产品的制度供给,又要逐步规范被害人参与的渠道和方式。
[Abstract]:In judicial practice, as the most important non-standard factor in the application of the death penalty, the victim's understanding has a practical influence on the criminal policy of the death penalty discretion. This kind of non-normative participation reflects the realistic predicament of victim's participation in criminal justice. On the one hand, the victim's understanding on the consideration of economic compensation has caused the public to question the application of the death penalty widely; On the other hand, the absence of institutional participation mechanism leads the victim's family to choose the lawsuit strategy of issuing a letter of understanding or only asking the defendant to die. The paradigm of institutional economics reveals that the choice of victim understanding affects the application of the death penalty, which is the result of a game between transaction costs and legal benefits in a specific legal market, and has the rational characteristics of economics. Therefore, in order to resolve the plight of victim participation in criminal justice, it is necessary to increase the supply of legal public goods and gradually standardize the channels and methods of victim participation.
