摘　　要：为防止检察官在审前训练、指导证人作证和污染证据,英格兰和威尔士的法律传统禁止检察官在审前会见证人。2003年开始,检察官审前会见证人的制度(PTWI)在英格兰和威尔士经历了从试点到全面推行的变革过程。为此,英国修改了《皇家检察官守则》的相关内容,制定了审前会见的《实务守则》和《工作指南》。而同为普通法系的我国香港地区对要不要引入检察官审前证人会见制度进行了审慎的研究,最终决定维持现行做法。英国这一制度探索展现了"检察官基于案件证据资料做出公诉决定"这一过程的复杂性,我国应从制度上规范检察官审前会见证人,科学评估证人证言可靠性,促进审查起诉制度精细化发展。In order to prevent prosecutors in pre-trial coaching witnesses and contaminating evidence, long been an accepted rule of conduct in England and Wales that prosecutors do not speak to witnesses to fact their evidence. The PTWI has been experienced the reform process from pilot to full implementation in it has about England and Wales since 2003. Therefore, the Code of practice and the Guidance for Prosecutors in PTWI were drafted and the Code of Crown Prosecutors was modified. However, Hong Kong, as in common law region, decided to maintain the current practice after a prudent study on whether to introduce the system of PTWI or not. The exploring of this system in UK shows the complexity of prosecutorial decision-making on the facts, which has the value of reference for us.
