LAS JORNADAS DESDE LA PERSPECTIVA
DE UN PARTIDARIO DEL BIEN JURÍDICO *
Roland HEFENDEHL
Como acertadamente ha señalado Wolfgang Wohlers en su comentario
f‌inal, hubiera sido presuntuoso querer obtener en las jornadas o tras la lec-
tura de este libro colectivo una respuesta def‌initiva a la pregunta de qué es
hoy la teoría del bien jurídico: fundamento de legitimación o juego de abalo-
rios dogmático. Así de simple se plantea también en la consabida alternativa
propuesta, que, sin embargo, no ref‌leja correctamente la complejidad del
objeto: no existe el fundamento de legitimación del Derecho penal, pero
igual de seguro es que la ref‌lexión en torno al bien jurídico tampoco es un
juego de abalorios dogmático.
Anticipándose a esta conclusión, los organizadores y editores desglosa-
ron el objeto global para desarrollar los distintos componentes de una posi-
ble legitimación. A mi entender, no hay más remedio que optar por esa for-
ma de proceder, aunque las propuestas unívocas alejadas de las soluciones
de compromiso puedan parecer más estrictas a primera vista. Según creo, el
concepto acuñado por Hassemer de materialización de un concepto «desde
abajo» 1 sigue careciendo de alternativa tras las jornadas. Son numerosos los
trabajos que en el fondo siguen este camino: von Hirsch menciona junto al
harm principle otras razones para criminalizar 2; Seher habla de estructuras
de una legitimación de la norma penal basada en principios 3; y Schüne mann
entiende el bien jurídico como directriz normativa 4.
