论我国刑法从犯的界定及价值考量——基于主从犯区分视角
On the Definition and Value of Criminal Adjunct in China—From the Perspective of Distinguishing Principal and Accessory Offenders

我国受传统法律文化和大陆法系国家主从犯理论的影响，采取了以作用为主、兼顾分工的分类方法，将我国的共同犯罪人分为主犯、从犯、胁从犯和教唆犯。我国刑法第27条第一款虽然对从犯进行了一定的释义，但这一款并非是对从犯下定义，也并不能以此条款作为对从犯概念的界定，而是应当基于主从犯在共同犯罪中所起的具体作用的大小来认定从犯。
Influenced by the traditional legal culture and the theory of principal and subordinate offenders in civil law countries, our country has adopted a classification method that focuses on the role and gives consideration to the division of labor. The joint offenders in our country are divided into principal offenders, accomplices, coerced accomplices and abettors. Although the first paragraph of Article 27 of the Criminal Law of our country has a certain interpretation of the accomplice, this paragraph is not a definition of the accomplice, nor can it be used as a definition of the concept of accomplice, but should be based on the size of the specific role played by the principal and accomplice in the joint crime.
