当前学界关于刑案民意回应的两种主要方案均存在不足，其中通过陪审回应民意存在手段与目的不匹配的问题，而通过能动应用司法技艺回应民意则存在着罔顾制度条件的缺陷。实际上，我国刑事诉讼立法中早已存在一种程序性的民意回应进路，这一进路不仅与中国的制定法传统和法院现状更为契合，而且组成相互支持的系统。在刑案民意回应上，未来中国刑事诉讼应当以此程序性进路为重点，继续沿着这条道路进行程序建设和制度完善。

There are obvious limitations in the two main current schemes on how to respond to the public o-pinion in criminal justice:the method of responding to the public opinion through the jury does not match the goal;responding to the public opinion through active judicial skills neglects the deficiency of system premise. As a matter of fact,a procedurally programmed approach of responding to the public opinion has been estab-lished in current Chinese criminal proceeding legislation,which not only has a good adaptability to the context of Chinese judicial system,but also has formulated a mutual -supported system.Thereby,as for responding to the public opinion,we should put emphasis on this established procedural approach,and stick to it for accomplis-hing procedural reform and system perfection.
