劳教改革背景下积极的一般预防之倡导

A Theoretical Re- examination of the Purpose of Penalty in the Perspective of Reeducation through Labor: Positive Approach to General Prevention

劳教改革是我国法治进程中的一件大事,我们可以在不同的领域内对其进行解读。劳教改革使我们意识到:制度的意义不仅在于执行时的价值,一种动态的制度生发与终止的轨迹反而能反映出更加宏大、更加深刻和更加令人惊叹的时代图景。劳教改革的法治化走向无意于震慑潜在的犯罪人,而是意在推出更加理性、精巧的社会控制。劳教改革的酝酿过程和最终停用能使国民加深对中国法治进程的理解,型塑国民的规范意识、唤醒和强化国民对法治的信赖与忠诚,从而使国家可以更加顺畅地实现对社会秩序的维护。

The reform of Reeducation through Labor is a significant event in China＇s legal development, whose interpretation finds ex- pression in different domains. This reform reveals that the value of a system does not rely only on its implementation, but on a dynamic process which mirrors a more magnificent and all - inclusive vision of our era. The reform of Reeducation through Labor does not mean to frighten potential criminals but intends to achieve a more rational and elaborate social control. The whole process of this reform will give us a better understanding of China＇s legal development, enhance people＇s faith and loyalty to our legal governance and lead to a better social order.
