刑法谦抑理念下的刑事和解法律规制

当今刑法可称之为"变动中的刑法",其在中国当下社会情境中应从理念上予以推敲,推敲其产生的基础,推敲其变动的原因,推敲其发展的逻辑脉络,使刑法在推敲中走向完善。刑法谦抑理念的勃兴体现着变动中的刑法。在现代法治社会,刑法谦抑性是刑法应有的价值意蕴,具有限制机能,其通过刑法处罚范围(犯罪圈大小的划定问题)和处罚程度的限定加以体现。刑事和解恰恰是刑法对传统刑法理念的挑战,是对刑法谦抑理念的回应。刑事和解旨在软化刑法的强制性,增强刑法的诱导观念及道德重建功能;刑事和解是公法的私法化的表现,是罪刑法定原则司法化的具体体现之一,是刑法谦抑理念在刑事司法程序或者说是刑事司法制度层面的最好诠释。
