论中国罚金刑的立法价值取向——以《刑法修正案(八)》为切入点

On the Value Orientation of China's Property Penalty in Legislation

被学者们誉为具有"推动中国人权事业发展历程里程碑意义"的《刑法修正案(八)》对我国的重刑罚结构进行了重大调整,但理论界呼吁多年的罚金刑制度完善却未能进入立法者的视野,要想打破僵局必须转变观念,重视罚金刑的价值,维护罚金刑的刑罚性质,确立"报应为主、预防为辅"的罚金刑配置理念。

Though Amendment of Criminal Law （the 8th version）, which is described as ＂the milestone of progressing the human rights in China＂, has greatly adjusted the severe penalty distribution, measures to perfect the property penalty have not been taken into consideration in the legislation. It is necessary to change the minds and focus on the value of property penalty, to safeguard the nature of criminal punish- ment in property penalty and establish the distribution of property penalty as ＂nemesis first, prevention as the supplement＂.
