试论单位盗窃

A Discussion on Unit Burglary

单位盗窃是司法实践中一个长期争论的问题。但97刑法的修改却没有涉及单位盗窃罪的规定,这给司法实践带来了诸多不便。最高检于2002年颁布的司法解释规定单位盗窃按自然人盗窃处理。该司法解释的颁布,并没有解决原来争论的问题,而使争论更加激烈。因为,该司法解释的内容既违背了罪刑法定原则,又违背了罪刑相适应原则。因此,笔者认为单位盗窃罪的刑事责任问题,只能通过立法程序予以解决。

Unit burglary is a long-term controversy in judicial practice. However, the new Criminal Code actually, not stipulating the unit larceny, has brought a lot of inconvenience to the judiciary. The judicial interpretation, which was issued by the Supreme People's Procuratorate in 2002, stipulates that unit burglary is convicted according to the natural person larceny. The judicial interpretation does not resolve the original dispute, but it makes the controversy more intense. The content of the judicial interpretation has violated the principle of legality and the principle of criminal responsibility as well. As a result, criminal liability of unit larceny can only be resolved through the legislative procedures.
