交通肇事罪认定中的几个问题

Several Issues in Finding the Crime of Causing Traffic Casualties

刑法第 1 33条规定 ,因逃逸致人死亡的 ,处 7年以上有期徒刑。该规定相对于类似的过失犯罪来说处刑明显偏重 ,有太多的功利色彩 ,致使罪责刑不相适应。《最高人民法院关于审理交通肇事刑事案件具体应用法律若干问题解释》第 5条第 2款的规定不符合共同犯罪的理论 ,该规定中的单位主管人员、机动车辆所有人、承包人或乘车人等指使者与肇事者之间缺乏共同的过失。

It is prescribed in Article 133 of Criminal Law that those who cause death because of their escape shall be sentenced to the imprisonment of over seven years. The provision is obviously more severe than the similar negligent crimes, and is too utilitarian, which makes punishment not proportionate to crimes. The provisions in section 2, Article 5 of The Supreme Court Interpretation of SeveralIssues on the Application of Law in Trying the Criminal Cases of Causing Traffic Casualties. are not conform tothe theory of complicity. There is no common negligence among the inciters and peacebreakers such as the persons in charge in the unit, owners of automobiles, contracters, or passagers, etc. prescribed in the provisions.
