唐律与唐朝的刑事司法制度

Tang Code and Criminal Justice System in Tang Dynasty

唐律是唐朝刑事司法制度的体现者、规范者和捍卫者。唐律的内容体现了刑事司法的主体、参与人、程序、证据、强制措施、法律的适用、刑罚的执行等方面,是唐朝刑事司法制度忠实的体现者。唐律对唐朝刑事制度的规范比较全面、具体和易操作,为这一制度的适用创造了极为有利的条件。唐律通过刑罚手段来惩治违反刑事司法制度的行为,力度比较大。唐律能与唐朝的刑事司法制度紧密联系在一起主要是因为唐律包含有唐朝刑事司法制度的调整范围,唐初的主流刑事司法思想起了十分重要的指导意义,"疏议"起了完善唐朝刑事司法制度内容的作用等。在唐律与唐朝的刑事司法制度方面,还有一些值得关注的问题。首先,唐朝前、后期刑事司法制度的执行情况大不相同。其次,后世律典对唐律中的刑事司法制度都有沿革。最后,唐律中的刑事司法制度与古代东方其他法中的刑事司法制度相比,差别十分明显。
