“四要件论”质疑——犯罪标准引论

Queries on"Four Important Items": A Tentative Study of Crime Criteria

20世纪50年代引自苏联的犯罪构成四要件理论,在新刑法确立罪刑法定原则、废除类推制度后,缺陷凸现,已不能适应新形势下司法实践的要求,难以提供犯罪标准。依犯罪标准为目标的犯罪构成理论应坚持法定性和实践性原则,在科学地解释刑法中对犯罪的全部规定基础上,建立符合刑事司法实践内在逻辑、逐级深化的开放式立体体系。重构犯罪标准理论体系,对于落实罪刑法定原则、解决原理论与司法实践脱节的缺陷,满足司法人员定罪需要具有极其重要的意义。

After the establishment of legal principles for crime and punishment set by new criminal law and abrogation of analogy system, 'four important items' crime theory borrowed from the Soviet Union in 1950s has revealed many deficiencies, which made it difficult to adapt the new situation of judicatory practice and to offer crime criteria. Criterion-based crime theory should adhere to the principles of legality and practice and establish an open, escalating and comprehensive system which is in accordance with the internal logic of judicatory practice on the basis of full understanding of the criminal law.
