“软暴力”入罪需坚守罪刑法定原则--以寻衅滋事案件为例

The Legality Principle of Crime and Punishment Needs to Be Followed When Soft Violence Is Convicted of Crimes--Taking An Affray Case as An Example

罪刑法定原则作为刑法的基本原则,在惩治"软暴力"犯罪中应当贯彻。由于"软暴力"尚未载入刑法典,司法实践中要将此类行为入罪,仍须沿着规范评价路径,以具体罪名的构成要件为演绎推理的大前提。同时,根据成文法主义要求,司法解释性质的文件可用作说理论据,但不能作为直接裁判依据,其溯及力可参照司法解释的溯及力加以理解。

Nullum crimen sine lege. Nulla poena sine lege. The legality principle of crime and punishment as a basic principle of criminal law needs to be followed when "soft violence"is convicted of crimes. Since "soft violence"has not appeared in criminal law,specific constitutive requirements stated in the criminal law should be taken as deductive reasoning’s major premises when judging whether "soft violence"can be convicted of crimes.According to statute law doctrine,judicial interpretation documents can be used as arguments instead of judicial basis and we can understand their retrospective effect as that of judicial interpretation.
