摘要
我国法律规定的14岁为最低刑事责任年龄是否应该降低又引起社会各界的热烈讨论,不少刑法学者认为,我国应该降低最低刑事责任年龄,同时借鉴英美法系中的恶意补足责任年龄制度,使具有恶意的未成年人承担相应的刑事责任。但是,恶意补足责任年龄制度根植于英美法系国家和地区,是与判例法国家法律制度和体系相适应并且建立在充分健全的少年司法体系上的。反观我国,独立的少年司法体系并没有建立起来,且我国作为一个依赖成文法的国家,贸然适用该制度具有一定程度的风险。结合中国国情、整体法律制度与事件调查报告显示,我国现行的责任年龄制度具有合理性和适用性,应当予以维持。
Whether the age of 14 is the minimum age of criminal responsibility in our country should be lowered and aroused heated discussion from all walks of life.Many criminal law scholars believe that we should lower the minimum age of criminal responsibility,and at the same time learn from the system of malicious supplementary age of responsibility in the common law system,so that malicious minors can bear corresponding criminal responsibility.However,the system of malicious complementary age of responsibility is rooted in common law countries and regions,which is compatible with the legal system and system of case law countries and is based on a fully sound juvenile justice system.In China,the independent juvenile justice system has not been established in our country,and as a country that relies on written law,it is risky to apply it hastily.Combined with China’s national conditions,the overall legal system and the incident investigation report show that the current system of responsible age in China is reasonable and applicable and should be maintained.
