环境污染之刑法应对

Reaction of Criminal Law to Environmental Pollution

近年来,我国环境污染日益严重,要防止环境进一步恶化,仅靠行政法规打击环境污染行为收效甚微。通过借助刑法来遏制污染环境行为,增设污染环境犯罪危险犯,完善环境监管失职罪,具体细分环境犯罪以及完善环境犯罪中的罚金刑,充分发挥刑罚的威慑力,可以有效地规制环境污染行为,实现环境保护。但通过刑法来规制环境污染行为时,应反对无限扩大处罚污染环境犯罪行为和设立资格刑。

In recent years, environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious in China. Relying on the administration regulations to strike those bad behaviors and prevent the further de-terioration simply has little effect. Depending on criminal law to contain the behaviors of pollution, adding the dangerous crime in environmental crimes, improving the dereliction of duty in environ-mental supervision, subdividing the environmental crimes and improving pecuniary penalty to de-velop the deterrent force of penalty, can regulate the behaviors of environmental pollution effec-tively and achieve the aim of environmental protection. However, with the aid of criminal law, it should forbid the unlimited expansion of punishments to environmental pollution and qualification-penalties.
