Thinking on the criminal policy of juvenile delinquency with "education as the priority and punishment as the supplement"
对“教育为主，惩罚为辅”的未成年人犯罪刑事政策的思考

摘要

自改革开放以来，我国的未成年人犯罪刑事政策发生了巨大转变，从“严打”走向“教育”，逐渐认识到未成年人犯罪的本质。近几年来，新闻媒体频繁报道发生的未成年人重大杀人伤人案件，再次引起了学界和社会大众对于未成年人犯罪的热议，从而也引发了对未成年人犯罪刑事政策的反思。从社会道义与功利性的角度来看，“教育为主，惩罚为辅”的刑事政策本身并不存在任何问题，争议的核心在于我国未能形成系统的未成年人刑事法律体系，无全面详细的具体刑事制度支撑“教育为主，惩罚为辅”刑事政策的运行。
