論未成年人刑事判決之有限公開

On the Limited Publicity of the Judgment of Juvenile Criminal Cases

我國刑事訴訟法未就未成年人刑事判決宣告方式做特別規定，這一法律漏洞致使未成年人刑事判決只能適用成年人模式即公開宣告，但公開宣判方式不符合未成年人隱私保護和少年司法矯正之宗旨，因此，急需通過法律修訂以填補法律漏洞。修改時，需將未成年人刑事案件判決宣告和判決文書網絡公開之法律規定作為一個整體予以考量。為了未成年人隱私保護、公眾知情權和司法監督等諸價值之平衡，未成年人刑事判決應當有限公開，即未成年人刑事判決宣告原則上實行不公開主義，無罪判決可申請公開；未成年人刑事判決文書採用隱去未成年人個人信息的網絡有限公開模式。

The announcement of the judgment of juvenile criminal cases is not provided specially in criminal procedure law of China. Such a legal loophole leads to the application of adult mode, namely public announcement applied to the judgment of juvenile criminal cases. But the mode of public announcement doesn't conform to the purposes of protection of the juveniles' privacy and correction of juvenile justice. Therefore there is an urgent need to fill the legal loophole through the amendment procedure. The legal provisions of the announcement of the judgment and the online publicity of the judgment document of juvenile criminal cases should be considered as a whole in the process of amendment. To achieve the balance of the values of juveniles' privacy protection, the public's right to know and judicial supervision, the judgment of juvenile criminal cases should be open partly. That is: the announcement of the judgment of juvenile criminal cases should be closed in principle, acquittal may be opened and the judgment document of juvenile criminal cases should be publicized limitedly online by filtering the identity information of the juvenile.
