摘要

本文融合了犯罪与惩罚、法律与表现以及过渡时期司法等方面的文献,批判性地研究了在试图解决长期冲突遗留问题的社会中,对历史性国家暴力的高调起诉是如何引起争议的。通过对 1972 年爱尔兰北部 "血腥星期天 "屠杀事件中起诉士兵 F 的案例研究,该书以经验为基础,展示了遗留案件的起诉如何成为更广泛的社会和政治分歧的代表,这些分歧涉及过去暴力的原因和后果。报告认为,当起诉的法律依据被法律之外的因素所掩盖时,惩罚和刑法的明示功能就会受到根本性的破坏。通过关注这些法律外因素而非案件的法律语义,某些支持者可以质疑起诉的合法性,质疑起诉是否有助于需要 "向前看 "的冲突后社会,并防止被告被 "异化 "为 "局外人"。通过破坏刑事起诉的表达主义逻辑,结论是被告可以被同情的受众重新塑造为需要声援和支持的受害者,而不是需要谴责和惩罚的加害者。

‘Standing with Soldier F’: Bloody Sunday, disrupting the degradation ceremony and the court of public opinion
This article merges the literatures on crime and punishment, law and performance and transitional justice to critically examine how high-profile prosecutions for historic state violence become contested in societies attempting to address the legacy of prolonged conflict. Drawing empirically from the case study of the prosecution of Soldier F for the 1972 Bloody Sunday killings in the North of Ireland, it demonstrates how legacy case prosecutions become a proxy for wider societal and political disagreement over the causes and consequences of past violence. It argues that when the legal basis for prosecution becomes obscured by extra-legal factors the expressivist function of punishment and criminal law is fundamentally undermined. By concentrating on these extra-legal factors rather than focusing on the legal semantics of the case, certain constituencies can challenge the legitimacy of the prosecution, question whether it is helpful to a post-conflict society that needs to ‘move on’ and prevent the accused being ‘othered’ as an ‘outsider’. In disrupting the expressivist logic of criminal prosecution like this, it is concluded the accused can be reframed by sympathetic audiences as a victim who needs solidarity and support rather than a victimiser who needs to be denounced and punished.
