摘要
在理论上,刑法之确定性意味着刑法制度本身能够为人们提供一个发现刑法问题之正确答案的机制;在实践上,刑法之确定性则表现为刑法制度所坚持的明确性、稳定性、可预见性等诸多具体标准。法律的确定性是法治对法律的基本要求,刑法之确定性则是包含在罪刑法定这一法治原则之中的一项当然要求,因此它具有重要的法治意义。
Theore tically, the certainty of criminal law means that the criminal law system itself can provide a mecha- nism to discover the correct answer of criminal problems. Practically, the certainty of criminal law embodies in some clear, stable and predictable standards which the criminal law system should persist in. The certainty of law is one of the basic re- quirements of rule of law. The certainty of criminal law, including in the principle of a legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime, has a very important legal significance.
