社區矯正寫入刑法的重大意義

随著行刑社會化的發展,社區矯正在世界各國被普遍採用。我國此次《刑法修正案（八）》将社區矯正正式寫入刑法,使得「社區矯正」一詞第一次正式出现在刑法條文的规定中。這是對社區矯正在我國試行七年以来積極意義的重要肯定,也是對我國刑罰輕缓化、行刑社會化發展的進一步考驗。筆者認爲社區矯正寫入刑法有以下五方面的重要意義。

Great Significance of Writing Community Correction Into Criminal Law

Along with socialization of criminal punishment execution, community correction has been universally applied in all countries around the world. In Amendment （VIII） to the Criminal Law adopted at the 19th session of the Standing Committee of the 11th National People＇s Congress on February 25, 2011, community correction was officially written into the Criminal Law of China. As a result, the term of ＂community correction＂ has, for the first time ever, formally appeared in provisions of the Criminal Law.
