精神病人刑事强制医疗问题探析

Analysis of the Issue of Mental Patients’ Criminal Compulsory Medical Treatment

摘要: 精神病人不能辨认和控制自己的行为，其随时可能实施暴力危害行为。因此，对精神病人实施强制医疗，是一项非常重要的措施。2012年新《刑事诉讼法》的出台，从法律层面填补了我国关于精神病人强制医疗措施的相关空白，使我国强制医疗措施正式步入了法治化的轨道。但其作为初次确立的程序，在实际的运行过程中也凸显了一些有待解决的问题，因此确有必要对这些问题进行探讨，以期更好的完善精神病人刑事强制医疗特别程序。

Abstract: Since mental patients are unable to recognize and control their own behaviors, it is likely for them to commit violence at any time. Therefore, it is necessary to impose compulsory medical treatment on them. The introduction of the new “Criminal Procedural Law” in 2012 fills up the vacuum with regard to our country’s compulsory medical treatment of mental patients, enabling it to step onto the track of rule of law. Nevertheless, as an initially-established procedure, it has presented a great many problems to be solved in practice, which, in deed, needs to be discussed further so as to better improve the special procedure of imposing criminal compulsory medical treatment on mental patients.
