宽严相济的刑事政策与未成年人犯罪刑罚的适用

The Criminal Policy of Tempering Justice with Mercy and Penalties Applicable for Juvenile Delinquency

宽严相济的刑事政策要求在适用刑罚时要根据实际需要当宽则宽、当严则严,宽严审时、宽严有度。由于未成年人身心发育的特点及犯罪原因的特殊性,对未成年犯科刑时应当体现出轻缓、宽容的一面,对较为严厉且不能实现刑罚目的的无期徒刑、财产刑及资格刑的适用应当作出相应的限制。

The criminal policy of tempering justice with mercy requires giving justice or mercy according to reality when penalties are applied. Because of the characteristics of juvenile＇s mental and physical growth and delinquency＇s specialties, mercy should be shown when sentencing. Some limits should be made for those life imprisonments, penalties against property and penalties against qualification which are strict and can not be realized.
