论对“绑架犯罪既遂后释放人质”的处理

On the Handling of Kidnappers' Releasing the Hostage after the Accomplished Offence

绑架罪的既遂以绑架行为实际控制人质,将人质置于行为人实际支配之下为标准。因此,根据我国犯罪中止的一般理论,行为人绑架犯罪既遂以后又释放人质的不能成立犯罪中止,属于犯罪既遂后的悔罪表现。为了保障人质的生命、身体安全,鼓励犯罪人及时放弃犯罪,防止社会危害性进一步扩大,对于绑架犯罪既遂后释放人质的情形,国外刑法和我国台湾地区刑法已经将其作为减轻处罚的情节加以规定。从刑事政策和立法宗旨考虑,应当将"释放人质"解释为我国刑法修正案(七)规定的"情节较轻"的情形,但应将"释放人质"限定为出于行为人自愿,且必须将人质释放至安全场所。

The standard of accomplished offence of the crime of kidnapping is that kidnapping behavior substantially controls the hostage and actually puts the hostage under the control of the kidnapper.So according to our general theory of discontinued criminal,that the kidnapper releases the hostage after accomplished offense,cannot form the discontinued criminal,but demonstrates his repentance.In order to safeguard the hostage＇s safety and encourage the criminal promptly to give up the crime and prevent the social danger to expand,overseas criminal law and criminal law in Taiwan stipulate it as a circumstance of a crime calling for a mitigated punishment.From the consideration of criminal policy and legislative objective,it is necessary for our mainland criminal law to include this situation as one of the relatively minor circumstances.And releasing the hostage here refers to release the hostage to a safe place voluntarily.
