简析建立我国未成年人犯罪非刑罚矫正制度的必要性

On the Necessity of Establishing the Non-penalty Reformative Mechanism of Juvenile Crimes in China

未成年人身心发育尚不成熟,家庭、学校、社会或其他专门机构对他们的关爱和保护功能不到位,国际法规范的要求及非刑罚化矫正本身所具有的现实功能,共同构成了对犯罪未成年人实施非刑罚化矫正的原因。但是,目前我国关于未成年人犯罪实施非刑罚性矫正的法律规定只有刑法第17条第4款和第37条,该两条规定存在六个方面的缺陷,太过简单,造成实践中形同虚设。因此,全面建立我国未成年人犯罪非刑罚矫正制度实属必要。

The juveniles are still not mature in beth body and mind and either the family, school, society or other institutions have played their role in caring and protecting them. The demand of international laws and the advantage of non-penalty reformation are the real reasons for the non-penalty reformation of juvenile crimes. However, so far in the current Criminal Law only Clause 4 of Article 17 and Article 37 are about such practice. What＇s more, there are six defects in these two articles for they are too simple and are hard to be put into practice. As a result, it is necessary to establish the reformation mechanism of juvenile crimes in China.
