北宋緝捕者與逃亡者的法律問題──以《天聖．捕亡令》為中心

The Legal Matter of Arrester and Escapee of North Song Dynasty: Using “Arrest and Flight Statutes, Tiansheng Statutes” as the Center

北宋天聖七年（1029），宰相呂夷簡等奉召制定宋代第一部令典—《天聖令》。宋代承襲唐代律令，保留了先前大部分的「捕亡律」和「捕亡令」，以規範緝捕者與逃亡者之間的法律關係。本文主要以《天聖令》為中心，並配合《宋刑統》等法律典籍，分析宋代的捕亡制度，其中所涉及的對象為緝捕者與逃亡罪犯之間的法律問題。此外，就法律實際運作而言，運用不同的法律文獻個案，以探討在逮捕過程中，緝捕者與罪犯之間可能面臨的狀況，以及分析地方官吏處理相關實務的課題，對於宋代國家安全與社會秩序的維持，實屬重要的歷史意義。藉由法制史的角度分析地方追捕罪犯的制度，並透過相關的史料分析與個案研究可知，宋代政府在法律的制定上，亦隨時代、社會、經濟、政治等多重因素而產生出不同的面貌，更看出宋代法制的特色與落實層面。
