积极的刑法立法及其边界

Positive Criminal Law Legislation and Its Boundaries

晚近20年来,犯罪化是我国刑事立法的一个重要特征,积极的刑法立法观在我国确立。这主要表现在我国不断扩大刑法的处罚范围,以及加重了某些罪名的法定刑两个方面。社会现实不断发展,司法权和立法权配置失衡是我国采取积极的刑法立法观的主要原因。积极的刑法立法并不违背刑法的谦抑性;但是,对积极的刑法立法应当有所限制,使其处于一定的边界之内。这要求刑事立法应当理性对待民意,对行使宪法权利的行为入罪应当慎重,加强对风险的预测与评估。

In the recent 20 years,our country has always held the criminal legislation,and the positive criminal law legislation has been established in our country.This is mainly manifested in the continuous expansion of criminal penalties in our country and the aggravation of certain charges on the statutory sentence.The continuous development of social reality and the unbalanced allocation of judicial power and legislative power are the main reasons for our country to adopt a positive legislative view of criminal law.Positive criminal legislation does not violate the modesty of criminal law.However,positive criminal law legislation should abide by certain restrictions and be at a certain boundary.This requires that criminal legislation should rationally treat public opinion,should exercise caution in criminalizing acts that exercise constitutional rights,and should strengthen the prediction and assessment of risks.
