被害人救助作为西方被害人保护制度的产物,在我国经历了一个从理论认可到实践探索的阶段。20世纪90年代被害人救助的相关理论被我国学者所关注,到了本世纪初,在中央有关政策的鼓励下,各地开始被害人救助的试点工作。实践中,被害人救助制度被赋予了司法关注民生、服务民生,弥补损失,防止被害人向加害人转变,维护社会和谐稳定等广泛而深刻的意义。但是,该制度在一定程度上实现了其目标价值的同时,也暴露出了很多问题亟需加以探讨,此即本文主旨所在。 As a product of the system of victim protection in the West, the victim assistance has undergone a stage from theory approval to practice exploration in our country. Related theories of victim assistance in the 1990s have been paid attention to by our scholars. By the turn of the century, with the encouragement of the Central Government’s relevant policies, pilot projects of assistance to victims began. In practice, the victim assistance system has been given a broad and profound meaning of judicial attention to people’s livelihood, serving the livelihood of the people, making up for losses, preventing victims from changing to the perpetrators, and maintaining social harmony and stability. However, to a certain extent, the system has achieved its target value, but also exposed many problems that need to be explored. This is the purpose of this article.
