摘　　要：刑讯逼供素为我国法律所禁止,刑法规定了专门的罪名,刑事诉讼法也列有专条。然而,法律条文不等于司法事实,刑讯逼供这种古老而又野蛮的诉讼手段在当今司法实践中仍大量存在,各种因刑讯逼供致死致残的报道屡见报端,那么是什么原因使司法人员甘冒天下之大不韪而以身去触法律的达摩克利斯之剑?应当采取什么方法来有效遏制这一现象?文章试从法经济学的角度来阐述刑讯逼供现象的成因和对策。The extortion of confessions by torture is forbidden not only by the criminal law, but also by the law of criminal procedure. However, the legal article is not equal to the judicial fact. This kind of ancient savage method still massive in the judicial practice, all kinds of death and deformity caused by the extortion of confessions by torture are reported repeatedly in the press. So why do the judicial officials touch the sword of damocles of law？ What meatures can we take to eliminate this phenomenon？ In this article, the author try to analyse the reasons and countermeatures of the extortion of confessions by torture from the legal and economic angles.
