刑事法典 (加拿大)

加拿大《刑事法典》（英语：Criminal Code；法语：Code criminel）^{[Note 1]}是一部将加拿大主要刑事罪行及刑事诉讼程序以条文形式订明的法例。其正式的详题为《关于刑事法律的法令》（英语：An Act respecting the criminal law；法语：Loi concernant le droit criminel）。^[1]在法律报告中，该法典有时缩写为Cr.C. 。^[2]《1867年宪法法令》第91(27)条确立了加拿大国会对加拿大刑事法律（英语：Criminal law in Canada）的唯一管辖权。

刑事法典 Criminal Code
关于刑事法律的法令 An Act respecting the Criminal Law
引称	RSC 1985, c C-46
订立机关	加拿大国会
订立日期	First enacted: SC 1892, c 29; carried forward in statute revisions, RSC 1906, c 146 and RSC 1927, c 36; substantially revised and re-enacted, SC 1953-54, c 51; carried forward in statute revisions, RSC 1970, c C-34 and RSC 1985, c C-46

《刑事法典》包含部分抗辩理由，但大多数的抗辩理由为普通法（不成文法）的一部分，而非记载于任何成文法规中。不构成该法典一部分的重要加拿大刑事法律包括《火器法令》（Firearms Act）、《受管制药物与物质法令》（Controlled Drugs and Substances Act）、《加拿大证据法令》（Canada Evidence Act）、《食物及药物法令》（Food and Drugs Act）、《青少年刑事司法法令》（Youth Criminal Justice Act）及《违例事项法令》（Contraventions Act）。

《刑事法典》的适宜性之一是它构成了一项原则：除非在法规中对所控罪行有明确规定及说明，任何人都不可被定罪。该法律文件在加拿大历史上发挥了重要作用，并促进了其他法令及法例的形成，如《受管制药物与物质法令》。^[3]

历史及演变

《刑事法典》植根于多份历史悠久的法律文件。以下文件在《刑事法典》的构建及演变中发挥了作用：

Evolution of the Criminal Code (Canada), 1892–Present

法令	生效	Highlights
The Criminal Code, 1892，加拿大法规|S.C.（英语：Statutes of Canada） 1892，第29章	July 1, 1893	Sponsored by Minister of Justice Sir John Sparrow David Thompson, it was based on the "Stephen Code", written by Sir James Fitzjames Stephen for a Royal Commission in England in 1879, and subsequently modified by Canadian jurist George Burbidge to address the Canadian context. Its significant provisions included: Ousting from Canadian criminal law any offence under an Act of the British Parliament, "unless such Act is, by the express terms thereof, or of some other Act of such Parliament, made applicable to Canada or some portion thereof as part of Her Majesty's dominions or possessions." Standardization of the age of criminal culpability, so that no juvenile under the age of seven could be convicted, and those between the ages of seven and thirteen could be convicted only where they were "competent to know the nature and consequences of the conduct, and to appreciate that it was wrong."[4]
An Act respecting Arrest, Trial and Imprisonment of Youthful Offenders，加拿大法规|S.C.（英语：Statutes of Canada） 1894，第58章	July 23, 1894	Provided for the separation of juvenile offenders from older persons and habitual criminals during arrest, confinement, trial and subsequent imprisonment, as well as integrating efforts with those of children's aid organizations being organized by the provinces.
The Juvenile Delinquents Act, 1908，加拿大法规|S.C.（英语：Statutes of Canada） 1908，第40章	Implemented over time by specific proclamations, with respect to a specified province or a portion thereof.	The Juvenile Delinquents Act was designed to operate in a similar manner to the Probation of Offenders Act 1907 passed by the British Parliament in the previous year, as well as the juvenile delinquent provisions contained in the later Children Act 1908. While the minimum age for those subject to the Act remained at seven years, the maximum age varied by province. By 1982, it was set at 16 in six provinces, 17 for British Columbia and Newfoundland, and 18 for Quebec and Manitoba.[5]
Criminal Code，加拿大法规|S.C.（英语：Statutes of Canada） 1953–54，第51章	April 1, 1955[6]	Reenactment of the Code, with modernization of provisions. It abolished all common law offences (other than for contempt of court), as well as any offences created by the British Parliament or in effect under an Act or ordinance in any place before becoming part of Canada.[7]
Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1968–69，加拿大法规|S.C.（英语：Statutes of Canada） 1968–69，第38章	Various, from July 1, 1969 to January 1, 1970	An omnibus bill promoted by Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1968–69 provided for decriminalizing homosexual acts between consenting adults, legalizing abortion, contraception and lotteries, restricting gun ownership, and authorizing breathalyzer tests on suspected drunk drivers.
Young Offenders Act，加拿大法规|S.C.（英语：Statutes of Canada） 1980-81-82-83，第110章	April 2, 1984.[8]	The Young Offenders Act raised the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 12 years, and standardized the maximum age to 16–18 years (depending on the province), as well as setting limits on the length of sentence that could be imposed.
Anti-terrorism Act，加拿大法规|S.C.（英语：Statutes of Canada） 2001，第41章	December 24, 2001 (principally)[9]	Enacted in response to the terrorist attack against the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the Anti-Terrorism Act included provisions regarding the financing of terrorism, the establishment of a list of terrorist entities, the freezing of property, the forfeiture of property, and participating, facilitating, instructing and harbouring of terrorism.
Youth Criminal Justice Act，加拿大法规|S.C.（英语：Statutes of Canada） 2002，第1章	April 1, 2003[10]	The Youth Criminal Justice Act was passed to address concerns raised by the effects of the Young Offenders Act.
