摘　　要：最早产生于19世纪英国的刑事沉默权,伴随着当今世界法制一体化与现代化的进程,正逐渐突破法系的界限,为各法治国家普遍接受。中国法学界对刑事沉默权的争论主要集中在它是否与我国多年实行的坦白从宽政策相冲突。实际上,沉默权制度与中国坦白从宽政策两者之间在实质上并不矛盾。对此,需要依据中国具体国情,引进西方的沉默权制度,从而追求更高的效率正义与实质正义之间最佳的平衡点。Right to silence can be dated back to Britain in the 19th century. With the development of the integration and modernization of the legal system in the world, right to silence gradually broke the limit of the legal system, which has been widely accepted by the countries ruled by law. The argument about right to silence in legal circles is focused on whether it collides with the policy of confessing for benevolence, which has been practised in China for many years. As a matter of fact, right to silence does not contradict the policy of confessing for benevolence, and the introduction of the system in the West about right to silence should be based on China＇s actual conditions, so as to find out the best balance between a more efficient justice and justice in essence.
