摘要
主观恶性理论在刑法学中占据着重要的地位,从历史的源头探究其发展、变化的脉络,显得十分必要。通说认为,古代刑法采取的是结果责任,即不论行为人在主观方面是否有过错,只要发生了实害结果,均需承担刑事责任。中外刑法发展历史表明,有危害结果不论罪和没有危害结果亦论罪的情况大量存在,这说明古代刑法结果责任论是错误的。分析发现,刑法从其产生之日,定罪量刑就是围绕一定量的主观恶性上下波动的。不同时期刑法实践的差异仅仅在于是重视"纯粹"的主观恶性,还是重视以行为体现出来的主观恶性。
It is commonly said that the accused undertake responsibility due to results in accordance with ancient criminal law. That is to say, as long as harm results occur, the doer will be required to bear criminal responsibility without considering subjective points of the doer. History of Chinese and foreign criminal law shows that there exist many cases which are not regarded as guilty though they produce results of injury and the opposite circumstances exist too, indicating that it is improper of the result liability principle of ancient criminal law. Analysis shows that subjective culpability of the mind is the decisive factor for bearing .criminal responsibility. Since the day of the birth of the Penal Code, conviction and sentencing always focus on the fluctuations of a certain amount of subjective culpability. The difference of practice of criminal law in different periods in the Penal Code lies in emphasizing ＂purely＂ subjective culpability of the mind or paying attention to the subjective culpability manifested in the behavior.
