论劳动教养立法的几个基础性问题——建立我国轻罪处罚制度的理论创新

Some Fundamental Problems of the Legislation for the Rehabilitation-through-Labour --Establishing a Theoretical Creativity for Punishment of the Petty Misdemeanor in China

轻罪处罚制度的不足是我国刑事立法和刑事司法制度中的一个板块性缺损。中国刑事立法犯罪概念的特点决定了中国刑法上的犯罪实际上是严重或较为严重的犯罪 ,而不包括轻罪 ,因此 ,应当以劳动教养立法为契机建立中国的轻罪处罚体系。轻罪处罚法律制度的建立和完善 ,在理论和实践两个方面都面临一系列必须回答的基本问题。这些问题的解决除了需要立法和司法等方面的客观条件外 ,还需要具有根本性意义的理论创新。这就需要从理论上形成和提出问题 ,并给予科学的说明 ,为轻罪处罚制度提供必需的理论支撑。

The punishment system of the petty misdemeanor in China is an imperfect part existing in the institutions of both the criminal legislation and criminal judicature. The concept characteristic of the legislation for the criminal offense is actually to determine the idea that the crime in view of criminal law in China refers in its effect to the material or somewhat material crime. China shall set up its own primary punishment system for the petty misdemeanor basing itself on the legislation for the rehabilitation-through-labor. Establishing and perfecting punishment system for the petty misdemeanor, either in theory or in practice, is confronted with a series of problems that are doomed to be answered and that are essential to the theoretical creativity.
