我国未成年人权益的刑事法保护:根基、进展和体系

Protection of Minors’Rights and Interests by Criminal Law in China:Foundation,Progress,and System

随着我国未成人权益的法律保护体系日臻完善,刑事法所起到的基础性制度保障作用愈发突显。"矜老恤幼"的文化传统、区别对待的关爱法理以及多元开放的法律渊源共同构成我国未成年人权益刑事法保护的根基。时至今日,我国未成年人权益的刑事法保护在权益范围扩张、司法政策倾斜和刑事专项法制三个方面取得了富有成效的进展。当前,我国未成年人权益的刑事法保护体系集中体现在三大环节:针对未成年犯罪人的教育挽救制度、针对未成年被害人的严惩侵害制度以及未成人刑事诉讼程序的特别保护制度。

With the improvement of the legal protection system for the rights and interests of minors in China,the role played by the criminal law in the basic institutional guarantee is becoming increasingly prominent.China’s tradition of“respecting the old and caring for the young”,the jurisprudence of differentiated treatment,and the pluralistic and open sources of law together constitute the foundation of the criminal law protection of the rights and interests of minors in China.Up to now,China's criminal law protection of minors'rights and interests has made fruitful progress in three aspects:expansion of the range of rights and interests,preferential judicial policies,and special criminal legal system.At present,the criminal law system for the protection of minors'rights and interests in China is mainly embodied in three aspects:education and rescue system for juvenile offenders,severe punishment and infringement system for juvenile victims,and special protection system for juvenile criminal proceedings.
