摘要
惩治犯罪与促进社会发展的统一是刑事政策的精神。新中国成立以来,随着情势变迁,刑事政策审时而变。新中国的基本刑事政策经历了由"镇压与宽大相结合"至"惩办与宽大相结合",再至"宽严相济"的演进历程。镇压与宽大相结合刑事政策,主要针对反革命分子适用,其精神内涵是:镇压反革命,巩固新政权;恢复国民经济,保障三大改造。惩办与宽大相结合刑事政策则适用于所有的犯罪分子,并成为新中国第一部刑法典的立法指针,其精神内涵是:惩治各类犯罪,保障改革开放。在构建"和谐社会"的语境下,宽严相济的刑事政策应运而生,其精神内涵是:打击犯罪与保障人权相统一;以宽济严,构建和谐社会。三种基本刑事政策,不仅仅是在时间上的接续,而且就具体精神内涵而言,后者都是对前者的传承与超越,但总体精神都是惩治犯罪与促进社会发展相统一。
The spirit of criminal policy is to unite between punishing crime and promoting society. Since the Peopleg Republic of China having built, the criminal policy has being changed with change of circumstances. The fundamental criminal policy of the Peopleg Republic of China changed from combination of suppression with lenien- cy to combination of punishment with leniency, and to temper justice with mercy. The criminal policy of combina- tion of suppression with leniency was mainly applied with the counterrevolutionary criminal, which spirit was su- pressing the counterrevolutionary criminal to strengthen new political power, recovering national economy and ensu- ring transformation of capitalist industry and commerce. The policy of combination of punishment with leniency was applied with all criminals, and was the guide of 1979 Criminal Code, whose spirit was punishing all criminals to ensure reformation and openning. The policy of temper justice with mercy was put forward under the background of building harmonious society, whose spirit is combination of punishment with ensuring right and temper justice with mercy to build harmonious society. The three basic criminal policies developed one after another with time and the spirit, but the mainly spirit of them is to unite between punishing crime and promoting society.
