宪政维度中的刑讯逼供与罪刑法定

The Extorting a Confession by Torture and the Principle of a Legally Prescribed Punishment for a Specified Crime within the Scope of Constitutionalism Dimension

罪刑法定原则是刑法的根本原则之一,而刑讯逼供在我国是一个在司法中久禁不止,且甚为普遍的现象。刑讯逼供罪具有独特的多重当事人结构,与宪政视野的罪刑法定原则相契合。罪刑法定原则的设置源于宪政意义上的限制权力、保障人权的考虑。

The principle of a legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime is one of the important principles of the criminal law, while the crime of extorting a confession by torture is ubiquitous and irreformable in China. Because of its particular multi - subject structure, the crime of extorting a confession by torture corresponds to the principle of a legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime within the scope of constitution. The principle of a legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime comes from the spirit of limiting power and safeguard of human rights according to the coustitutionalism.
