上诉不加刑原则的实践反思与立法完善

Reflection on the Practice of the Principle of No Aggravating Punishment on Defendants from Appeals

上诉不加刑(No Aggravating Punishment on Defendants from Appeals)是我国刑事诉讼法第二审程序的特殊原则,由于第二审案件在案件类型、所判罪名、刑罚等一系列问题上具有复杂性,加上刑事诉讼对上诉不加刑这一原则规定得比较简单,所以无论在理论上还是在实践中,这一原则的理解和运用都存在较大的分歧。本文认为,上诉不加刑原则应该加以完善,在司法实践中应当严格贯彻上诉不加刑原则,杜绝变相加刑。

The principle of No Aggravating Punishment on Defendants from Appeals is a special principle in the second instance of Chinese criminal procedure law, Due to the complexity of the types of cases, charges and penalties, etc, , the simplicity of the stipulation of the principle will cause many disputes in the understanding and application of the principle, This article suggests that the principle should be improved, be carried out strictly in the judicial practice, and get rid of the aggravating punishment in disguise.
