“德主刑辅，礼法并用”刑法思想在我国的传承与发展

摘要

刑法思想是指导立法和司法的理论基础。司法效果是产生刑法思想的实践源泉。中华民族从封建王朝的“德主刑辅，礼法并用”刑法思想到新民主主义时期的“镇压与宽大相结合”，再到新中国成立的“惩办与宽大相结合”，直至近年来国家实行的“宽严相济以及控制和慎重适用死刑”，它们既一脉相承，又发展创新。其宗旨在于注重教化挽救，打击极少数，争取大多数，减少社会对立面，增加和谐因素。以此为指导思想，则社会安定，经济繁荣；反之，重典治乱，虽救弊一时，但衰败亦促。%Cirminal law is the theoretic basis of supervising legislation and justice.
