关于行为不法(不正当)的评价,我国学界存在规范违反说与法益侵害说两种立场之争,但由于对法益保护目的之功能存在误解,从而双方争论中有重大失焦问题。法益保护是刑法面向未来、面向社会的预防性法益保护,它与刑罚预防目的是同一的,刑罚预防效果之达成等于法益保护目的之实现,因而法益保护目的仅说明了刑罚正当性的一个方面:目的正当。但目的正当不能代表手段正当,不能从“刑法的目的是保护法益”推出“犯罪的本质是侵犯法益”,因为前者是预防性的,后者报应性的,法益侵害说必须从法益保护目的之外寻找根基。规范违反说以积极一般预防为中心,它的确更有利于周延地保护法益,但其导致刑法的高度刑事政策化,有为达目的不择手段之嫌,无法仅从法益保护目的中证立自身合理性。因此,法益保护目的并不能甄别不法论的基本立场,更不能从中得出刑法的至高价值,它在教义学上的功能值得重新审视。
As for the legal review of misbehaviors, there are two different positions in the academic circle, the norm violation theory and the legal interest violation theory. Since both sides have misunderstandings to the function of the purpose of protecting legal interest, the two positions have deviated from the focus in their debating. Protecting legal interest aims to prevent future violation from the pubhc in society, which is the same to the penalty purpose that only provides one respect to the punishment legitimate foundation. The ends can not justify the means, so the proposition, the criminal law' s purpose is protecting legal interest, cannot elicit another proposition that the crime' s essence is violating legal interest. The latter proposition has to find foundation beyond protecting purpose. Although the theory of violation norms based on positive prevention is more beneficial to protect the legal interest, it leads to comprehensive tendency of turning criminal law into criminal policy, and it will not justify itself from protecting purpose. Therefore, the legal interest protection purpose cannot help choose a more reasonable position of criminal illegality and its function needs to be reexamined.
