在理論與實踐之間：刑法再法典化的正當性根據檢視

在《民法典》時代，一些學者提出了「刑法再法典化」命題。深入命題的底層邏輯考察，現行刑法存在結構性缺陷可謂該命題的形成動因，促進刑法的自主性予以實現則為該命題的預設目的。二者在理論上共同構築了刑法再法典化的正當性根據。然而，根據司法實踐反視刑事立法，現行刑法所存在的結構性缺陷未形成刑法規範供給短缺的問題，這表明其並未嚴重到非再法典化不足以解決的程度。而且，科學、合理地運用刑法修正案和特別刑法，可以靈活應對現行刑法所存在的結構性缺陷，節約有限的立法資源。由此而言，刑法再法典化的立法動因表現出了不充分性。在前者的基礎上，同時運用刑法的規範意義現實化這一司法方法發展刑法的規範意義，建構刑法的意義世界，同樣可以促進刑法的自主性予以實現。因此，從預設目的的實現角度講，刑法再法典化存在替代方案。以上分析表明，理論上為刑法再法典化構築的正當性根據難以成立，在當下中國不應當對刑法進行再法典化。

In the era of Civil Code, some researchers have put forward the view of “recodification of criminal law''. By investigating the underlying logic of this view, it can be said that the structural defects in the current criminal law are the reasons for the formation of this view, and the presumed purpose is to promote the realization of the autonomy of criminal law. Both of these reasons have laid down the legitimacy basis of the recodification of criminal law in theory. However, through the examination of criminal legislation in judicial practice, the structural defects in the current criminal law have not caused the problem of insufficient supply of criminal law norms, which indicates that it is not necessary to solve it by re- codification. Moreover, using the criminal law amendment and the special criminal law scientifically and reasonably can deal with the structural defects existing in the current criminal law and save the limited legislative resources in a flexible manner. Therefore, the legislative reasons for the recodification of criminal law are insufficient. On the basis of the foregoing analysis, by using the judicial method of realizing the normative significance of criminal law to develop this normative significance of criminal law and construct the meaning world of criminal law, it can also promote the realization of the autonomy of criminal law. Therefore, from the perspective of achieving the presumed purposes, there are alternatives to the recodification of criminal law. The article shows that the criminal law should not be recodified in China today as the legitimacy basis built for the recodification of criminal law in theory cannot be established.
