罪與罰：臺灣刑罰規範變遷的社會學初探
Crime and punishment：The Sociological Exploration of changes in criminal norms in Taiwan
摘要
犯罪，是人類歷史上從未止歇的現象，無論何時何地，只要有人的地方就有犯罪，對於現代的國家來說，抗制犯罪、維護治安，是執政者的基本職責。而刑罰規範，是國家機器抗制犯罪之重要憑藉，它既是國家制定犯罪抗制對策及懲罰犯罪者之依據，更關乎一國家對於犯罪的定義及處理方式。從歷史的演進來看，犯罪不僅持續存在，更日益猖獗，迫使國家機器必須一再調整刑罰規範和抗制犯罪的對策。 刑罰規範和犯罪皆是歷史的產物，而刑罰規範的更迭，整體而言，是社會環境變遷的產物，在本研究中，筆者將以歷史縱深的視野和橫向比較的角度，探討台灣的國家機器在何種結構條件發生時，會改變刑罰規範中犯罪的定義以及修改刑罰規範或變更施予刑罰的手段，藉以理解在抗制犯罪場域中，國家與社會之互動關係，並深究刑罰規範變遷背後的實質內涵。
