摘要： 《刑事诉讼法》2012年修改后对刑事强制措施部分的条文做了大幅度修改，有降低审前羁押适用的意图。20年来，中国审前羁押率在波动中下行，但依旧在高位徘徊。人权保障意识的觉醒及相关国际刑事司法准则的贯彻，使中国各地逐渐重视逮捕(羁押)必要性的审查工作，这当然会使超高羁押率的局面得到一定程度的缓解，但若想根本转变局面，需要贯彻“等候审判的人受监禁不应作为一般规则”的原则，建立完善的现代刑事强制措施体系。

Abstract: Significant changes have been made to provisions conceming criminal compulsory measures in the 2012 Criminal Procedure Law, with a clear intention to control pre-trial detention. Pre-trial detention in criminal cases remains common in China despite a gradual drop in the past two decades, not without regressions. However，with increasing awareness of human rights and international practices in related fields，more serious reviews have been conducted over the necessity of arrest/detention all over the country. This will naturally lower the excessively high rate of detention somehow. But a modern system of criminal coercive measures will have to be fully developed before a fundamental change takes place and the principle may be thoroughly carried out that detention of a person waiting for a trial should only be applied in extreme cases.
