摘要：滥用职权罪是我国1997年刑法新设立的罪名，是第九章“渎职罪”中规定的一个类罪名，包括一般滥用职权罪和特殊滥用职权罪，共涉及24个罪名。批判刑法不如解释刑法，应在罪行法定、保护法益、平等对待被规制行为理念指导下对第397条的一般滥用职权罪进行刑法解释学分析。根据罪行法定理念中法律主义的要求，本罪的犯罪主体只能是国家机关工作人员；从保护法益的角度出发并考虑刑法的系统性，作为和不作为均可构成本罪；本罪是故意犯罪，故意的内容是行为人明知自己滥用职权的行为会发生侵害国家机关公务的合法、公正、有效执行以及国民对此信赖的结果，并且希望或放任这种结果发生。“致使国家、公共财产和个人利益遭受重大损失”的结果是本罪的客观的超过要素，不要求行为人希望或放任这种结果发生。
