刑法只保护法益吗?

Criminal Law only Protect Legal Interest?

法益保护论把法益作为批判立法的工具,认为法益保护是刑法保护的唯一任务,无法益侵害则不应当成立犯罪。但是,法益概念具有很大的模糊性,且刑法只保护法益的观点缺乏实定法的依据,并与社会现实需要相脱节。因此,刑法在保护法益的同时,也应当保护秩序。秩序不同于法益和规范,刑法也保护秩序是社会共同体存续和发展的需要,且具有宪法和刑法实定法上的支撑。刑法对法益和秩序的保护应当具有平衡性,即根据法益和秩序的不同价值内涵以及社会现实的需要设置刑法保护的基本架构,并在此架构之中进行差异化保护。

The theory of legal interest protection takes legal interest as the tool to criticize legislation,which believes that to protect legal interest is the only task of criminal protection,and there would not be criminals without legal interest being infringed.But legal interest is an ambiguous concept.The point that criminal law only protects legal interest lacks of the root of positive law,and furthermore,is disconnecting with the social reality.Therefore,criminal law not only protects legal interest,but also should provide protection to order.Order is different from legal interest and social norms.Protecting order by criminal law is necessary for social community surviving and developing,which is rooted by constitutional law and criminal law.It should keep balance when providing criminal protections to legal interest and order,that is,the basic framework of criminal protection needs to be set up according to the different value connotation of legal interest and order,and the need of social reality.Then the different protection could be carried out in this framework.
