盜賊對於政權的穩定與地方治安的維持，都是一個很大的威脅，因此盜賊一向是中國各朝代所重視的問題。宋代的賊盜罪，除了宋初的《宋刑統》當中對於盜賊問題有相關律文的制訂外，自仁宗朝開始，又另訂盜賊窩藏重法，此後宋代所行的「盜賊重法」，則成為懲治盜賊的方策之一，也是宋代法制的一大特色。 本文以宋代的盜賊重法為探討主題，除針對北宋和南宋實行的盜賊法作一討論外，也針對其執行與判決的結果作為與法令的對照。 以北宋與南宋的盜賊重法來看，北宋實行的是以重法地分和盜賊重法結合的方式，南宋則是「嚴捕賊之令，重捕賊之賞」，實際執行「招安」與「軍事征討」的政策。就盜賊實際的處置來看，宋代法律規定雖嚴，然而執行卻多以寬貸，難以達到原來立法的目的。如南宋的法令規定看來比北宋還要嚴格，但實際上南宋孝宗以後才在法律執行上趨於嚴懲，即可證之。由此可見，重法制訂之外，也應與按律懲治、地方官吏的收捕、地方官的教化工作互相配合，才能有效的改善治安。

Robbery is always a threat toward keeping stability of political power and sustaining of public security. In the early stage of Sung, laws regards to rubbery are legislated in "Sung Xing Tong". After Zen, a severe law was set to strictly control on robbery. Forty years later, severe law of robbery suspended, but robbery was still rampant. This article is subjected to discuss on severe law of robbery legislation and annulment history, execution of law, court adjudication as well as difference in North Sung and South Sung. In another view to compare penalty between North and South Sung, South Sung is more strict with punishment but slack off in execution.
