嫖宿幼女罪之立法缺陷与完善——以刑法明确性为视角

Legislative defects and improvement of crime of whoring girls under 14 years old——Perspective of clarity of Criminal Law

嫖宿幼女罪顶格刑为十五年有期徒刑,而强奸罪顶格刑为死刑,是故,嫖宿幼女罪便有在立法上纵容犯罪之嫌疑,不利于幼女身心保护。从立法上应对嫖宿幼女罪进行完善:如将嫖宿幼女罪归类为侵害人身权利罪,明确其首要保护的是幼女的人身权益;依据罪刑相适应原则完善嫖宿幼女罪的刑罚等级与种类;明确量刑情节,限制法官自由裁量权等。

The top grid punishment of crime of whoring girls under 14 years old is 15 years in prison, while the top grid rape punishment is the death penalty, so it is sus- pected that the actual occurrence of crime of whoring girls under 14 years old will have legislative connivance, which is not conducive to the protection of young girls physically and mentally. We should perfect the crime of whoring girls under 14 years old from legislation： such as classifying the crime of whoring girls under 14 years old as the crime of infifingement of personal rights, clarifying the primary protection of personal rights and interests of the young girls; perfecting the penalty level and types of the crime of whoring gids under 14 years old based on the suiting principle of penalty; clarifying sentencing plot and limiting the discretion of the judge.
