罪刑法定主义的价值诉求

作为刑法的古老原则——罪刑法定原则从一开始出现，人们对它的理解就有形式主义和实质主义之争。形式主义的罪行法定原别因追求法律的尽善尽美而在现实中成为永远无法实现的神话；实质主义的罪刑法定原则因过分批判法律的内容的确定性而形成以司法为中心的畸形的法律制度。有批判地创造性接受这是我们应有的做法。我们不论在立法上还是在实践上都应跳出实质主义和形式主义的窠臼，真正实现罪刑法定原则的价值。

Value in the Principle of a Legally Prescribed Punishment for a Specific Crime

Ever since the initiation of this old principle of criminal law - the principle of a legally prescribed punishment for a specific crime, people have had two distinct understandings of it, namely formalism that has been unrealistic due to its aspiration for a perfect law, and essentialism, which has led to a malformed legal system centered on judicatory due to its strong criticism on the certainty of law. What we should do is to accept with criticism and creativity and jump out of the set patterns of formalism and essentialism both in legislation and in reality to realize the true value contained in the principle of a legally prescribed punishment for a specific crime.
