解析我国环境刑法“缺陷”论

Analysis of the“Deficiency Theory”in China’s Environmental Criminal Law

我国环境刑法研究中,存在一种集中指责立法＂缺陷＂的学术现象。认为现行环境刑法立法的主要缺陷有三：1.环境犯罪客体定位不准;2.环境刑法体例不当;3.刑罚处罚力度不够。这些观点出现的原因并非立法确实存在缺陷,而是研究者认识角度和思考方式所致：1.将西方环境伦理引入刑法;2.用外国刑法立法和理论为样本评价我国环境刑法立法;3.夸大刑法在环境保护中的作用。

In the research of China＇s environmental criminal law, there exists an academic phenomenon centrally criticizing the legislative＂deficiency＂.The author suggests three aspects in the main deficiency of the legislation of the current environmental criminal law：（1） an inaccurate positioning of environmental crime object;（2） inappropriate style of environmental criminal law;and（3） inadequate penalty force.The reason of these viewpoints is not the deficiency of legislation itself, but researchers＇ perspectives and ways of thinking：（1）Bringing western ethics into the criminal law;（2） Using foreign criminal law＇s legislation and theories as a sample to evaluate the legislation of China＇s environmental criminal law;and（3） exaggerating the role of criminal law in environmental protection.
