论原因自由行为的可罚性

我国《刑法》第十八条规定：“醉酒的人犯罪，应当负刑事责任”，此规定被认为是类似于大陆法系中原因自由行为的立法例。所谓原因自由行为是指行为人故意或过失的使自己陷入无责任能力或限制责任能力状态而实施犯罪的行为，因其行为人的主观恶性和所具有的社会危害性理应对此行为进行处罚。但我国《刑法》第十八条的规定并不严谨，故此有必要在我国刑法中引入原因自由行为的概念。

On the Punishable of Actio Libera in Cause

Article 18 of China＇s Criminal Law stipulates that drunken crime should be held criminally responsible. This provision is considered a legislative case which is similar with Actio libera in cause in civil law countries： The so-called Actio libera in cause refers to acts intended or fault of their own so that there is no obligation into the capacity or ability to limit the responsibility of the state. The reason why ＂actio libera in cause＂ should ＂be punished, because it is a harmful and illegal act. But Article 18 of China＇s Criminal Law is not strict, it is necessary to introduce Actio libera in cause into China＇s Criminal Law.
