在我国的刑法条文中,有相当一部分内容体现了刑法的谦抑性,与此同时,我们也不可忽略一些与刑法的谦抑性不符的规定,尤其是刑法修正案(八)出台后,出现了颇多争议。刑法的谦抑性,作为刑法的价值追求之一,对于建设社会主义法治国家具有重要意义。

There are considerable provisions in our criminal law that reflect the restraining of punishment,and at the same time,we cannot ignore some provisions that are not conform with the restraining,especially after the promulgation of Criminal Law Amendment（8） that gave rise to many debate.As one of the basic value of criminal law,restraining of criminal is vital for building a socialist country under the rule of law.
