经济与刑法关系的社会系统论考察

An Investigation into the Social System Theory of the Relationship between Economics and Criminal Law

经济与刑法关系问题的考察,不仅涉及“经济刑法”的规制范围与解释规则的构建,即规范性问题;也涉及作为社会子系统的刑法与经济之间的运作状态的分析,即经验性问题。社会系统理论为整合这两种问题提供了适当的方法。基于社会系统论强调的现代社会功能分化状态,刑法对经济系统运作的保护,即刑法对惩治经济犯罪所保护的法益的界定应当围绕激励经济系统货币支付功能展开。在构建经济刑法解释规范的同时,刑事法律介入经济系统活动的范围应当受到制约,而限制的方式可以通过引入社会系统论下的反思法规范模式展开。

The examination of the relationship between economy and criminal law not only in-volves the construction of the regulatory scope and interpretation rules of economic criminal law,but also normative issues.It also involves the analysis of the operational status between criminal law as a social subsystem and the economy,which is an empirical issue.Social sys-tems theory provides appropriate methods for integrating these two issues.Based on the differ-entiation of modern social functions emphasized by social systems theory,the protection of eco-nomic system operation by criminal law,that is,the definition of legal interests protected by criminal law in punishing economic crimes,should revolve around stimulating the monetary payment function of the economic system.While constructing norms for the interpretation of e-conomic criminal law,the scope of criminal law intervention in economic system activities should be restricted,and the ways of limitation can be carried out by introducing the reflective legal norms model under the social systems theory.
