罚金刑的正义及其实现——以中英罚金量刑为视角

On the Justice of Fine Penalty: From the View of Fine Sentencing between People's court and Magistrates' court

罚金量刑是否符合正义要求,受社会观念和法律规定的双重影响。在罚金量刑上,中英法院都避免"以罚代刑"观念;在量刑原则上,我国注重普遍平等,英国注重罚金刑个别平等;在罚金数额计算上,我国主要以犯罪对象为依据,英国在确定适用罚金等级后,需要查明犯罪人财产状况。尽管对罚金量刑的正义内涵理解不同,但我国在罚金量刑正义的制度保障方面需要进一步完善。

There is dual effect from the ideology and the law weather the fine sentencing meets the demand of justice.In the field of fine sentencing,the courts try to avoid offenders ＂buying the way out of prison＂;In principle,people＇s court pays more attention to universal equality and magistrates＇ court to individual equality;In the amount of fine,people＇s court is on the basis of the object of crime and magistrates＇ court must take account of the offender＇s financial circumstances more broadly.So the system of fine should be perfected to make the sentencing justice come true.
