由于和大陆法系具有更近的亲缘关系，我国刑法学界对美国刑法中罪刑法定原则的研究相对欠缺。美国罪刑法定的基本框架应当包括禁止事后法、宽宥原则、明确性原则三个主要部分。罪刑法定在美国同样是舶来品，其在司法实践中与美国本土司法资源的结合模式，即罪刑法定原则司法化的方式，对我国具有借鉴意义。采取“识别—突破—回归”的三步走路径，可以有效地解决我国罪刑法定原则在司法实践中难以有效适用的难题。这就要求突破传统的价值绝对主义的罪刑法定观念，探索一条超越价值绝对主义与价值相对主义的理论进路，对罪刑法定原则进行工具化改造。%Since our domestic criminal law theory is closely related to the continental legal system, our research on the principle of legality in American Criminal Law is quite insufficient. The U.S. legality principle includes three main parts, which are principle of non-retroactivity, rule of lenity and void-for-vagueness principle. The principle of legality in American Criminal Law is transplanted from the continental legal system just like ours, but the manner of its localization, that is the manner of its judicialization, is of great reference significance. Taking the“identification-breakthrough-return”three-stage strategy might be useful to solve the problems of judicialization of our domestic legality principle, which requires instrumentalization of the legality principle.
