There is an 'authority-dominated' mode of case allocation in Chinese criminal procedure. In this mode, the allocation of criminal cases is regarded as a matter of the court, procuratorate and public security organs, so as to conveniently handle criminal cases. But it fails to give adequate attention to the defendant's right. Such a 'authority-dominated' mode is the result of the service-oriented position of the division in criminal cases, the relationship between the court, procuratorate and public security organs, and the tradition of centralizing on the files and notes, which leads to the essential differences between it and the 'right-oriented' mode in foreign jurisdictions. Although the 'authority-dominated' mode is con-sistent with current structure of Chinese criminal procedure and meets the requirements of judicial prac-tices, it lacks reasona basis, which not only violates the procedural justice, but also may lead to wrong convictions. In the future, we should take reform measures to optimize our 'authority-dominated' mode, including to introduce the elements of rights protection. Specifically, it is necessary to establish a tight re-striction mechanism of allocation of criminal cases, to grant the defendant's right to participate and seek relief in the division, to strengthen the defendant's right of confrontation, and to block the expansion of previous judgment in subsequent cases, in order to realize the substantiation of court hearing in subse-quent cases. |
