犯罪之间的界限与竞合

Limits and Overlappings between Crimes

两个犯罪之间具有排他关系时,才存在明确的界限;刑法理论为区分此罪与彼罪的界限所提出的观点往往缺乏法律根据,曲解构成要件,没有现实意义,增加认定难度;妥当的做法应是,不必讨论犯罪之间的界限,正确解释各种犯罪的构成要件,对案件事实由重罪到轻罪作出判断(有时也可能由轻罪到重罪作出判断);并善于运用想象竞合犯的原理,准确适用刑法条文。

Two crimes can be separated clearly only if they are mutually exclusive; generally, the opinions for separating one crime from another afforded by penal theories have following defects： lacking legal foundation, misunderstanding constitutional requirements, having no real meaning, increasing difficulty of cognizance; the proper means should be： exactly interpreting constitutional requirements of all kinds of crimes without defining the line between discussed crimes, considering felony first when judging the facts （sometimes misdemeanor may be considered first） ; besides, the principle of imaginative coincidental of- fence should be well adopted for applying the provisions of criminal law exactly.
