针对近年来我国未成年人犯罪呈现的低龄化趋势及刑事责任年龄划分僵硬化造成的困境,《刑法修正案(十一)》新增个别刑责年龄条款,一定程度上借鉴和吸收了恶意补足年龄规则的内容。恶意补足年龄规则的本土化适用可为我国刑事责任年龄调整...针对近年来我国未成年人犯罪呈现的低龄化趋势及刑事责任年龄划分僵硬化造成的困境,《刑法修正案(十一)》新增个别刑责年龄条款,一定程度上借鉴和吸收了恶意补足年龄规则的内容。恶意补足年龄规则的本土化适用可为我国刑事责任年龄调整提供实践依据。通过梳理、分析恶意补足年龄规则的理论沿革、核心内涵,对个别刑责年龄条款中罪行的适用范围、情节恶劣的认定及主观恶意的证明提供更好的解释与适用。In response to the underage trend of juvenile delinquency in China in recent years and the difficulties caused by the rigid division of criminal responsibility age, the 11th Amendment to the Criminal Law has added individual provisions on the age of criminal responsibility, which to some extent draws on and absorbs the content of the rule of malice supplies the age. The localized application of the rule of malice supplies the age can provide a practical basis for China to adjust the age of criminal responsibility. By reviewing and analyzing the theoretical evolution and core connotations of the rule of malice supplies the age, we aim to provide a better explanation and application of the scope of application of crimes, determination of aggravating circumstances, and proof of subjective malice in the individual age of criminal responsibility provisions.展开更多
近年来,多起低龄未成年人恶性犯罪事件引起了社会舆论的强烈关注。民众支持报应主义的观念背后是源于未成年被害人法律角度的缺失以及民众内心的安全需求需要刑法保障,修法背后也要保证刑法的谦抑性。对于最低刑事年龄争论不休的各种观...近年来,多起低龄未成年人恶性犯罪事件引起了社会舆论的强烈关注。民众支持报应主义的观念背后是源于未成年被害人法律角度的缺失以及民众内心的安全需求需要刑法保障,修法背后也要保证刑法的谦抑性。对于最低刑事年龄争论不休的各种观点,可以从理论层面进行梳理,不同理论的发展变迁,从最早报应主义的同态复仇,刑事古典法学派认为犯罪人是由自由意志决定是否实施犯罪行为,未成年犯和成年犯几乎一致对待。到后来的矫正主义,实证法学派认为犯罪和其他自然现象一样都有其原因,对低龄未成年犯应采取以教育手段代替刑事处罚,将未成年犯和成年犯相区别,再到近代的保护–惩罚二元论,对于未成年人应当是保护和惩罚并重,被害人理论的发展引发了对“犯罪行为中心主义”的思考。为了应对低龄未成年人因为没有达到刑事责任年龄而不承担刑事责任的问题,首先还是应当坚持对于未成年人的特殊保护,不仅是要保护未成年被害人,也要对其进行平等地保护,避免二次伤害。其次建立相对确定的刑事责任年龄制度,可以借鉴英美法系的“恶意年龄补足规则”,由最高检察院根据个案核准是否提起诉讼,由人民法院来裁判没有达到刑事责任年龄犯罪人是否具备了刑事责任能力。In recent years, a number of violent crimes committed by young minors have attracted strong attention from public opinion. The people’s support for the concept of retributivism is due to the lack of legal perspective of juvenile victims and the people’s inner security needs need criminal law protection, and the modesty of criminal law should be ensured behind the revision of the law. Various views on the minimum criminal age can be sorted out from the theoretical level. The development and changes of different theories, from the homomorphic revenge of the earliest retributionist, the classical school of criminal law believes that criminals decide whether to commit crimes by free will, and juvenile offenders and adult offenders are treated almost the same. In the later correctionalism, the positivist school of the law believed that crime, like other natural phenomena, had its own causes, that juvenile offenders should be replaced with criminal punishment by educational means, and that juvenile offenders should be distinguished from adult offenders. In the modern protection-punishment dualism, both protection and punishment should be placed on minors. The development of victim theory has triggered the thinking of “crime behavior centralism”. In order to deal with the problem that young minors do not bear criminal responsibility because they have not reached the age of criminal responsibility, first of all, we should adhere to the special protection of minors, not only to protect minor victims, but also to provide equal protection for minor victims to avoid secondary injuries. Secondly, a relatively certain age system of criminal responsibility can be established, which can draw on the “malicious age supplement rule” of the Anglo-American law system. The Supreme Procuratorate can approve whether to initiate a lawsuit on a case-by-case basis, and the People’s Court can judge whether a criminal who has not reached the age of criminal responsibility has the capacity for criminal responsibility.展开更多
