再犯毒品犯罪情节的定性与司法适用

Qualitative Analysis and Judicial Application of Repeated Drug Crimes

我国《刑法》第三百五十六条规定了对再犯毒品犯罪的行为人从重处罚,此条规定不是已存的累犯制度,也不是将存的再犯制度,而是众多法定从重情节之一。由于我国现行刑法的规定,司法实践中存在第三百五十六条与第六十五条、第七十一条竞合时法律适用混乱的问题,应在明确条文定性的基础上,遵循"禁止重复评价原则",按照严厉打击毒品犯罪、平等尊重和保护犯罪人基本权利的精神,合理解决该问题。

The Article 356 of the Criminal Code stipulates that recidivists of drug crimes should receive heavier punishment.This stipulation is neither the requirement of the existing nor that of the future recidivist system but the requirement of one of the many statutory aggravating circumstances.Our present Criminal Code further stipulates that issues under different legal applications of Article 356,Article 65 and Article 71 should be dealt with reasonably in the spirit of severe punishment while the recidivists＇ basic rights fully protected,and on the basis of clear interpretation of stipulations while the ＂principles of prohibiting repeatable evaluation＂ strictly followed.
