未成年人案件羈押率高低的反思

Reflection on the Detention Rate of Juvenile Cases

在當今社會大力宣導降低未成年人案件羈押率的背景下，鑒於未成年人案件的 特殊性，其羈押率並不是越低越好，尤其是並不必然應當低於成年人案件的羈押率。未成年人 “羈押率”高的原因在於國家較之成年人案件往往表現得更加積極主動，介入的範圍更加寬泛，其中人身拘束措施作為非常有效的一種干預手段，不僅要承擔保障訴訟的功能，同時還有教育、輔導、考察等功能。應針對未成年人不同性質的行為，明確國家責任，改變過窄的司法保護模式，尤其對於社會危害性很大的校園欺淩問題，應釆取更有進取心的司法干預措施。

In today’s society, people vigorously advocate reducing the detention rate of juvenile cases, while under such background, in view of the special nature of juvenile cases, its detention rate might not be the lower the better, especially it should not be necessarily lower than the detention rate of adult cases. Why the detention rate of juvenile cases is higher? The reason may lie in our country’s more proactive actions and broader scope of intervention towards juvenile cases comparing to adult cases. Besides, personal restraint measures, seen as a valid and efficient intervention measure, not only function as means to protect legislation in adult cases, but also bear educational, tutorial and inspective functions. According to different juvenile behaviors with different nature, our country should identify responsibility, change the narrow mode of judicial protection, and particularly should take more active judicial intervention measures to deal with bullying issues in campus which is more harmful to the society.
