摘要
近年来,低龄未成年人致害案件频发且性质恶劣.为了应对不满十四周岁低龄罪错未成年人的社会治理难题,《刑法修正案(十一)》对刑事责任年龄新增条款,将未成年人刑事犯罪年龄下限调整至十二周岁,并设置相应限制性条件.针对刑事责任年龄新增条款,否定论者从不同角度对新增条款的正当性和合理性进行抨击.基于刑事一体化立场,刑事责任年龄新增条款在理论和实践层面彰显了其内在的价值意蕴,体现了其在平衡低龄未成年人刑事处罚和刑事保护政策上的正确性和先进性.对于刑事责任年龄新增条款的理解和适用,应当立足于我国未成年人独特的成长环境及其身心发展历程,科学设定适用刑事责任年龄新增条款的各项限制性条件,实现刑事责任年龄新增条款在预防和治理未成年人犯罪中的规范价值.
Abstract
In recent years,there have been frequent cases of underage minors being killed and the nature of such cases is bad.In order to cope with the social management problems of under 14-year-old minors,the Criminal Law Amendment(XI)adds new provisions to the age of criminal responsibility,adjusts the minimum age of minors committing criminal offences to 12 years old,and sets corresponding restrictive conditions.In response to the new provision on the age of criminal responsibility,negationists have attacked the justification and reasonableness of the new provision from different perspectives.Based on the position of criminal integration,the new provision on the age of criminal responsibility has demonstrated its intrinsic value at the theoretical and practical levels,reflecting its correctness and advancement in balancing the policies of criminal punishment and criminal protection for underage minors.The understanding and application of the new provision on age of criminal responsibility should be based on the unique growth environment of minors in China and their physical and mental development,and the restrictive conditions for the application of the new provision on age of criminal responsibility should be set scientifically,so as to realize the normative value of the new provision on age of criminal responsibility in preventing and treating crimes committed by minors.
