刑法实质解释的作用、适用及规制

Role Application and Regulation About the Substantial Interpretation of Criminal Law

刑法实质解释与刑法形式解释之间不是完全独立的方法论,而是呈现对立统一关系。刑法实质解释有利于解读犯罪构成的内涵,也有突破罪刑法定的风险,对刑法实质解释的适用界域应合理定位。从刑法实质解释与犯罪构成的关系看,刑法实质解释一般出现在法律疑难案件中。刑法实质解释结论不但要符合刑法规范与立法精神,还要与公众认同相一致。

The formal interpretation of criminal law and the substantial interpretation of criminal law is not completely independ- ent, but unity of opposites. The substantial interpretation of criminal law is favorable to interpret the content of the criminal constitute, but also has the risk of breakthrough of the principle of a prescribed punishment for a specified crime, therefor it is neces- sary to explain the application boundary of the substantial interpretation of criminal law. From the substantial interpretation of criminal law and criminal constitute, the substantial interpretation of criminal law appears in the difficult cases generally. The substantial interpretation of criminal law not only comply with the Criminal Law and legislation spirit, but also consistent with the public recognition.
