摘　　要：为高效处理大量积压案件,减轻刑事司法负担,英国确立并发展了认罪答辩和量刑从宽制度。为维护制度的正当性与合法性,英国法官通过审查犯罪事实以保证被告人认罪依据的真实性;依被告人申请提前告知最高刑罚,以帮助被告人理智地作出认罪决定;依据精密的法律规范谨慎裁量从宽幅度。英国法官独立审查案件事实、谨慎履行告知义务、严格遵守裁量规范的司法补足作用,对我国认罪认罚从宽制度的完善具有一定的借鉴意义,要重视被告人认罪认罚真实性的实质审查,进一步优化对被告人的权利告知,细化法官从宽量刑的裁量依据,从而促进认罪认罚从宽制度的更好发展。In order to efficiently handle the large amounts of cases and alleviate the burden on the criminal justice,Britain has established and developed a judge-led system of guilty plea and sentencing discount.To safeguard the legitimacy and legality of the system,British judges review the facts of the crime to ensure the authenticity of the basis of defendant’s plea;they inform the defendant of the maximum penalty upon his or her application in advance so as to help the defendant make a rational decision to plead guilty;and exercise prudent discretion in determining the discount of sentence with sophisticated legal norms.The complementary role of the British judges in independently reviewing the case facts,cautiously fulfilling their obligation to inform,and strictly complying with discretionary norms has certain reference significance for the improvement of China’s leniency system for admitting guilty and accepting punishment.We should pay attention to the substantive review of the authenticity of the guilty plea and further optimize the informing of the rights of the defendant,and refine the discretionary basis judge’s sentence with leniency,thereby promoting the better development of the system for imposing lenient punishments on those confessing their crimes and accepting punishments.
