浅谈刑事宽严相济理念

宽与严是矛盾的,但在刑事立法和刑事诉讼过程中是统一的。宽严相济不仅仅是刑事司法政策,更是刑事立法和刑事诉讼的理念。在刑事立法、刑事诉讼中适时贯彻宽严相济理念不仅关乎刑事法律的社会功能能否顺利实现,还直接关乎国家的长治久安。

On the Concept of Criminal ＂Tempering Justice with Mercy＂

It seems contradictory to enforce the law leniently or severely, but they are unitive in criminal legislation and criminal procedure. Tempering justice with mercy is not only a policy of criminal justice, but the concept of criminal legislation and criminal pro- cedure. The timely implementation of tempering justice with mercy in criminal legislation and criminal procedure will decide whether criminal law＇ s social functions could be achieved and whether our state could be stable and peaceful permanently.
