犯罪预防是对犯罪现象的理性反应 ,它有其自身的规律和价值。个人自由保护是犯罪预防的核心价值 ,社会安全保障是犯罪预防的外在价值和表现形式。将个人自由置于犯罪预防的核心价值 ,有利于我们正确认识刑罚之目的 ,走出刑罚预防万能的误区 ;有利于我们制定合理的刑事政策 ;有利于罪犯权利的保护和顺利复归社会。只有这样才能理性地制定犯罪预防对策 ,达到减少和控制犯罪的目的。 Crime prevention is a rational reaction to the phenomenon of crime. It has its own laws and values. The protection of personal freedom is the core value of crime prevention. Social security is the external value and manifestation of crime prevention. Putting personal liberty at the core value of crime prevention helps us correctly understand the purpose of punishment and go beyond the misunderstandings of penalty prevention. It helps us to formulate a reasonable criminal policy. It is also conducive to the protection of the rights of criminals and the smooth return to society. Only in this way can we rationally formulate crime prevention measures to achieve the goal of reducing and controlling crime.
