摘要
品格证据是英美国家证据法的重要内容,我国在对未成年被告人的量刑中也有关于品格证据的运用。但是出于维护未成年犯罪嫌疑人、被告人的权利,出于对其特殊司法保护的初衷,现阶段我国司法机关在办理未成年人犯罪案件时,不论重罪案还是轻罪案,都呈现轻缓处理的趋向,这也许是我国未成年犯罪率呈上升趋势的原因之一。因此,在未成年被告人量刑中,不应只仅仅采用其良好品格证据,对于某些不良品格证据也应依法采用。
Character evidence is one important part of the Law of Evidence in America and Britain,and it is also used in the sentence of accused juveniles in China.However,in order to assert the right of juvenile suspects and the minor accused,and manifest the original intention of special judicial protection in China,our judicial branches now often present the trend of gentle punishment in the process of dealing with juvenile delinquency case,no matter it is heavy or light crime.This maybe one of main reasons that lead to the rise of juvenile crime rate in our country.Therefore,both good and bad character evidences should be applied to the sentence of the accused juveniles according to the law.
