从后果主义看刑法第63条第二款的适用

On Applicability of Clause 2 of Article 63 in China's Penal Code from the Perspective of Consequentialism

当传统刑法教义学无法解决疑难案件时,后果主义裁判指导下的以刑制罪司法逻辑日益受到学界的关注。刑罚妥当性对于裁决的作出具有指引作用,以刑制罪从刑罚出发,运用后果主义论证方法,既体现了目的解释,也实现了实质正义。但当"由刑到罪"所产生的罪名与实际行为严重不符时,刑法第63条第二款的适用可以发挥紧急出口的作用。

When traditional dogmatics of penal code cannot properly solve some dubious and difficult cases,the academic world pays an increasing attention to a consequentialist logic that the crime should be suppressed by penalty. According to this logic,the appropriateness of penalty plays a guiding role in making adjudication.Based on the punishment,suppressing crimes by penalty,which applies the consequentialist demonstration,embodies both teleological interpretation and substantive justice. However,the crime in the final output might be significantly inconsistent with the actual criminal behavior. In this situation,Clause 2 of Article 63 in China＇s Penal Code may provide a way out.
