犯罪学与刑法学的科际界限

On the Separating Line between Criminology and Criminal Law

在犯罪学诞生以前,人们一直认为刑法学是研究犯罪的,所以在犯罪学诞生时两个学科发生了互相否定,致使它们之间界限一直不清;为明确两个学科界限,该文揭示了古典学派与实证学派论争及与犯罪学的联系,论证了两派分歧的本质和根源,提出了以学科任务确定学科对象、定义学科的概念,指出刑法学并不研究犯罪和刑罚本身,而是研究犯罪和刑罚的法律规定,犯罪学才是研究犯罪本身的科学。

Before the birth of criminology, it is considered that criminal law is concerned with crimes, so these two areas' separating line is unclear; In order to make their cutting line clear, this article points out that it is criminology but not criminal law which is concerned with crimes study.
