摘要:期待可能性理论起源于德国，后传到日本。这一理论架构和研究在德、日已经非常成熟，而在我国，期待可能性理论的研究还不成熟，甚至可以说，在我国的刑法领域，期待可能性理论无论在理论界还是在刑事司法中，都还没有真正受到足够的重视。本文通过分析期待可能性理论的实践应用价值，进一步指出了我国深入接受与发展该理论的必要性和重要性。而且，无论从国家政策、法律法规还是实践的角度，在我国应用期待可能性理论都有一定的可行性。但由于期待可能性理论在我国现行法律法规中没有明确的规定，所以在司法实践中各地的做法并没有统一的标准。笔者通过借鉴期待可能性理论在国外的经验，对我国期待可能性理论的立法与司法提出了具体的若干建议。

期待可能性理论有着重要的理论价值和实践意义，在我国刑事司法审判中借鉴期待可能性理论有必要性和可行性。但同时，我们也必须认识到，期待可能性有其本身的弱点，如果适用不当可能导致弱化司法，降低刑法功能，超越刑法解释界限的后果。我们必须将期待可能性理论运用于我国司法实践，将期待可能性理论作为量刑因素减轻行为人刑事责任，发挥期待可能性理论在我国立法、司法活动中的具体作用。
