This paper explores the forms of responsibility and judicial discretion associated with the concept of “mistaken excessive self-defense” in Japanese criminal law. The study finds that the use of this concept has increased significantly in Japanese judicial decisions over time, indicating its growing recognition and systematic incorporation into case law interpretation and practical application. In stark contrast, Chinese judicial rulings rarely, if ever, employ the term “mistaken excessive self-defense”, even in cases that meet the substantive criteria for such classification—highlighting a disconnect between theory and practice. By tracing the development of relevant Japanese case law, this paper outlines how the concept has gradually been integrated into judicial reasoning and demonstrates its practical role in sentencing discretion. Finally, drawing on shortcomings observed in China’s current judicial practice, the paper proposes a feasible approach to incorporating “mistaken excessive self-defense” as an independent criterion in judicial reasoning. The aim is to offer both theoretical insight and practical guidance for the development and application of Chinese criminal law.

영문 초록

本论文围绕日本刑法中“假想防卫过当”的责任形式与裁量问题展开探讨。研究发现，日本从早期的司法判例中到现如今的判例中，“假想防卫过当”这一概念的使用明显增加，反映出该概念在判例解释和实务操作中逐渐被重视并系统化。与此形成鲜明对比的是，在中国的司法判决中，即便存在符合假想防卫过当要件的案件类型，判决书中仍鲜少甚至未见该用语的使用，显示出理论与实务之间尚存脱节。本文通过分析日本相关案例的发展过程，梳理了“假想防卫过当”概念被逐步吸收进判例解释体系的路径，并指出其在量刑裁量上的实际功能。最后，结合中国现行司法实践可能存在的不足，本文尝试提出将“假想防卫过当”作为独立判断标准引入判决理由之中的可行路径，以期为中国刑法的实务适用与理论发展提供一定的借鉴与参考。
