“创设”抑或“改进”——环境行政拘留设置探微

Creation or Improvement ——On Legislation Setting of Environmental Administrative Detention

2010年新施行的《环境行政处罚办法》第10条"处罚种类"中明文增加"行政拘留",从而被误读为创设了中国环境行政处罚的新型罚种,然而通过对于环境行政拘留立法的梳理可以发现相关规定仅仅是一种"改进"而非"创设",并且在展现亮点的同时存在需要进一步完善的盲点区域。

Article 10 of Measures for Environmental Administrative Punishment which is amended and adopted in 2010 added ＂administrative detention＂ to punishments. However, according to the legislative history of environmental administrative deten- tion, it is just a kind of improvement instead of creation. This kind of improvement is successful and needs further development.
