摘 要: 痛苦性是刑罚的自然属性,对传统型犯罪中的犯罪人而言,刑罚的适用意味着一种痛苦的加担,因而引起心理的不快乐;但对病态型犯罪中的犯罪人而言,刑罚的适用则意味着幸福的获取。换言之,监狱成为谋求个体最大化幸福的场所。显然,刑罚对病态型犯罪人适用不具有功效,但刑法仍然对其责任非难,这归因于刑法追求报应和一般预防的刑罚目的。对于打破传统犯罪思维的病态型犯罪人的主动触法行为,或许期待可能性理论能够给予相对合理的解释。 Pain is the nature of penalty. In traditional crimes, application of penalty means adding pain to offenders which leads to offenders mental feeling of unhappiness. But to those pathological offenders, application of penalty means the achievement of happiness. In other words, the jail becomes the place where offenders seek to maximize their happiness. Obviously the application of penalty has no effect on those pathological criminals. But the responsibility for a pathological crime will be prosecuted for other purposes of criminal law such as punishment and general prevention. To the pathological offenders deliberately offending law, theory of anticipated possibility may give a rational explanation.
