和谐社会刑法机能模式之选择

The choice of criminal law function mode in a harmonious society

刑法机能模式指刑法在法益保护机能与人权保障机能冲突与契合关系基础上表现出来的对某一机能的侧重,体现刑法机能模式的价值偏一关系。关于刑法机能模式,存在"法益保护机能优先模式"、"人权保障机能优先模式"、"刑法机能动态平衡模式"及"刑法机能同一模式"之争论。在当前社会转型与构建和谐社会的过程中,"人权保障机能优先模式"应当成为我国刑法机能模式的理性选择。

The mode of functions of criminal law refers to that criminal law shall place special emphasis on one of the two functions which include legal interest protection function and human right guarantee function during their conflict and integration.In theory, there are four kinds of mode of functions of criminal law： legal-interest-protection-first mode,human -rights-guarantee-irst mode,dynamic equivalenc.e mode, and identity mode of criminal functions.In current China which is at the stage of social transition, the human-rights-protection-first mode should be adopted rationally when we are trying to construct a harmonious society.
