刑事政策的理性架构——以法治为背景的思考

法治的原则和精神要求刑事政策在防控犯罪时寻求与法律的和谐发展,不能超越法律的界限。我国目前的刑事政策因理性架构的缺失,阻碍着法治建设的进程,很有必要对之从宏观和微观上进行重构。就微观层面而言,须重视刑事政策要素内涵调整、机制与原则确立、渊与流的合理协调;就宏观层面而言,刑事政策理性架构的核心在于刑事政策要自觉地沿着法治化的道路运行,刑事政策的制定和运行要纳入法治的框架,在法治的大视野中予以把握。

The Theoretical Framework of Criminal Policies: A perspective of Nomocracy

The principle and spirit of government in accordance with a system of law requires that criminal policies be compatible with the law while preventing and punishing crimes,i.e. no criminal policy can be beyond the boundary of law. Because of the defects inherent in the theoretical framework of criminal policy,the government in accordance with a system of law in China is now impaired. Thus,a reconsideration of the framework both in macro and micro theories seems badly needed. From the angle of micro theory,we should focus on the adjustment of the internal elementary contents of criminal policies,pay heed to the establishment of institutions and principles and coordinate the relationship of resources and practice. As for macro theory,the essence of the theoretical framework of criminal policies lies in that criminal policies should consciously take the way of nomocracy. Policy-making and policy-administering shall fall within the scope nomocracy and be subject to government in accordance with a system of law.
