证人出庭作证是否应当给予经济补偿?对于证人出庭作证是否应当给予经济补偿这一问题,理论界有两种不同的观点:一是认为既然证人有作证的义务,这就意味着不应收取费用,故没有必要建立经济补偿制度;二是认为目前我国经济很不发达,人民生活并不富裕,有些证人的差旅费、住宿费是一笔不小的开支,而且证人大都对此有反映,所以应当建立经济补偿制度。(徐建新.刑事证 Whether the witness should testify in court should give economic compensation? Whether the witness should testify in court should give financial compensation, there are two different viewpoints in the theoretical circles. One is that since the witness has the obligation to testify, this means that no fee should be charged, Therefore, there is no need to establish an economic compensation system. Second, we must consider that at present our economy is underdeveloped and the people’s living conditions are not prosperous. Travel costs and accommodation fees for some witnesses are a small sum of expenses. Most witnesses are aware of this. Therefore, Establish an economic compensation system. (Xu Jianxin. Criminal card
