Research On Victim-offender Reconciliation System From Procuratorial Perspective

As a reform of criminal justice philosophy carried out in procuratorial agency from bottom to top according to Central Government's criminal policy and a big attempt to criminal justice reform by judicial practitioners, victim-offender reconciliation has achieved good results and been confirmed and recommended by judicial theorists. Since Procuratorate of Chaoyang District, Beijing City began the reform of victim-offender reconciliation in 2002, victim-offender reconciliation policy is becoming mature in exploration. Procuratorates throughout China are boldly attempting the reform of victim-offender reconciliation policy which plays a positive role in resuming social relations which have been destroyed by the suspects, making up for the damage to the victims, recovering social relations between the suspects and the victims and promoting suspects'rehabilitation and returning to society. However, because the policy of victim-offender reconciliation, after all, is a practice of trying criminal justice philosophy, in the exploration process, there have been some problems and shortcomings. Based on the cases of victim-offender reconciliation handled by the procuratorate of Baise City, Guangxi Province, the author summarizes and induces the problems and shortcomings existing in the procuratorates'current victim-offender reconciliation work, such as the uncertainty of the scope of victim-offender reconciliation cases and announcement form, the non-standard of procedures and analyzes the reasons affect and constrain the current victim-offender reconciliation from the criminal justice philosophy and practice of procuratorial work. Based on analysis and reaserch, the author describes the establishment and improvement of the victim-offender reconciliation system from the aspects such as how the procuratorial agency changes the justice philosophy, improves legislation, strengthens the internal supervision and restriction, improves the victim-offender reconciliation system itself and performance appraisal system, enhance the procuratorial training and so on. The theoretic and practical suggestios have been put forward on the improvement of the victim-offender reconciliation from legislation to practice with the aim to initiate the establishment of systematic theoretic system of victim-offender reconciliation with which the author hopes to guide the concrete practice and contribute a little to the development of procuratorial agency's victim-offender reconciliation system.
