社会危害性与刑事违法性的矛盾及其解决

The Contradiction Between the Nature of Social Harm and the Nature of Criminal Transgression and Its Solution

社会危害性与刑事违法性是刑法理论上的一对基本范畴。作为行为评价标准 ,社会危害性具有易变性、模糊性 ,刑事违法性则具有稳定性、明确性。二者之间的矛盾 ,源于刑法秩序价值与自由价值的对立。为了协调二者的矛盾 ,应注意以对立统一的视角看待二者的关系 ,并在刑法理论、刑事立法和刑事司法上作相应的调整。

The nature of social harm and that of criminal transgression are a pair of fundamental concepts of the criminal legal theory. As the standard of acts evaluation, the nature of social harm is inconstant and vague, while the nature of criminal transgression is constant and definite. The conflict between them originates from the occurrent but opposite values of the criminal law, i.e. the order value and the freedom value. To harmonize the conflict, we shall treat the relationship between the two natures with the law of contradiction, and make relevant adjustments in the criminal theory, criminal legislation and execution of criminal law.
