刑法谦抑性之价值蕴含

On the Content of the Value In the Restraining Criminal Law

刑法谦抑性主要经由日本刑法学理论导入中国,产生于刑法客观主义与主观主义的争斗过程中,旨在维护个人自由同时防止刑法异化成为恣意侵害人权的工具,其理论渊源根植于欧陆启蒙主义的刑法思想理念。刑法谦抑性理念作为刑法的价值观,蕴含着刑法的宽容性、有限性和经济性3个层面的基本要素。

The concept of the restraining criminal law is introduced from the theory of Japanese criminal law. It grows out of the struggle between Subjectivism and Objectivism of the criminal law theory, and is intended to protect the citizens＇ rights and freedom by constricting the application of the criminal law. Epistemologically, it is rooted in the Enlightenment and criminal rationalism. As an expression of the value of the criminal law, the restraining criminal law should relate and embody features of the tolerance, the limitation and the economy of the criminal law.
