论美英刑事法学理论中的encouragement概念

The Concept of “Encouragement” in the Criminal Law Theory

随着"汉语中所称的‘诱惑侦查’在美英刑法中称‘entrapment’"这一观点逐渐被否定,近年来又有不少学者提出,美英刑事法学理论中的"encouragement"一词才是汉语中所称的"诱惑侦查"。不过,经考察发现,"encouragement"一词只是散见于一些零星的学术论文之中,美英国家规范性的法律文件、权威性的司法判决和专业性的法律词典在论及上述问题时都未正式使用该概念。这一事实说明,美英国家也并未将"encouragement"单独列为一种侦查手段,甚至未将其正式列为被告人进行合法的辩护理由,该概念还仅仅是一个学术概念,尚未正式成为一个专业的法律术语。

It is generally believed that ＂temptation investigation＂in modern Chinese is ＂entrapment＂in the US and UK criminal law. A lot of scholars hold different opinion. They point out that ＂entrapment＂is in essence a kind of illegal behavior,the word ＂encouragement ＂ is the equivalent expression in English for＂temptation investigation＂in the modern Chinese. But through the inspection,the word ＂encouragement＂in found to exist only in some sporadic academic papers,and is not an accepted legal term yet.
