完善我国现行刑法量刑情节的设想

Conception of Perfecting Sentencing Circumstances of Applicable Criminal Law in China

量刑情节具有调整量刑幅度、保持量刑均衡、准确适用刑罚的重要作用。完善的量刑情节体系有助于引导法官正确量刑。由于立法背景、立法指导思想以及立法技术等因素的影响,随着时代的发展变化,我国现行刑法关于量刑情节的规定已越来越不能适应现实的需要,不仅规定不全面,而且也不尽合理,有许多需要修改和完善之处。从立法和司法的角度审视,完善量刑情节的立法方式、丰富量刑情节的内涵、确立量刑情节竞合的适用规则、合理确定量刑基准,是推进量刑科学化、精确化和透明化,实现量刑公正的可选之策。

Sentencing circumstances plays a great role in adjusting sentencing scope, balancing sentencing and applying penalty accurately. A perfect sentencing circumstance system could help judge a lot to sentence appropriately; however, regulations of applicable Criminal Law in China could reach up to the needs of reality less and less, because of its incompletion and lack of reason, and which, requires modification and perfection. In the perspective of legislation and jurisdiction, to perfect our sentencing circumstances, to enrich the connotation of sentencing circumstances, to set up applicable rules of sentencing circumstance concurrence and to reasonably definite sentencing benchmark, are the feasible options for promoting scientific, accurate and transparent sentencing behavior and for realization of sentencing justice.
