公共政策与风险社会的刑法

Public Policy and Criminal Law in a Risk Society

风险社会中,刑法变成管理不安全性的风险控制工具,公共政策由此成为刑法体系构造的外在参数。凭借诸多制度技术,公共政策对刑法规范的塑造产生重大影响。作为刑法解释的重要工具,公共政策不仅促成目的论解释大行其道,还对构成要件解释具有指导作用。政策导向的刑法蕴含着摧毁自由的巨大危险。有必要借助刑事责任基本原则对风险刑法进行规范与制约,合理处理原则与例外的关系。

In a risk society,criminal law becomes a risk-control tool for managing insecurity and public policy hence becomes an external parameter of the structure of the criminal law system.Relying on various institutional techniques,public policy exerts a great impact on the shaping of norms of criminal law.As an important interpretive tool of criminal law,it not only promotes teleological interpretation,but also acts as a guide for interpreting component elements.Policy-oriented criminal law entails a high risk of destroying freedom.It is necessary to utilize the basic principles of criminal responsibility to regulate and restrict risk-based criminal law and to handle the relationships between principles and exceptions in a reasonable way.
