走向刑法的现代化

Toward the Modernization of China's Criminal Law

刑法现代化是一个宏观问题,涉及到刑法结构及其调整。刑法现代化应从"厉而不严"转向"严而不厉"。"不严"的问题有一元化而不是二元化的立法体制、犯罪概念的定量因素等。"厉"的问题在于有死刑、罪名都规定了监禁刑、罚金适用不多,决定刑罚体系是一个重刑体系。应当注意对法定刑的研究。

The modernization of China＇s criminal law is a macro question, which involves the structure and restructuring of the law. The modernization should undergo a shift from ＂ severity without rigidity＂ to ＂ rigidity without severity＂ . The problem of ＂ less-rigidity＂ is due to monist instead of dualist legislature system, quantitative definition of crimes, etc. The problem of ＂ severity＂ lies in death penality, overall coverage of prison penalty on all crimes, less application of fine penalty, which make the penalty system a severe-punishment-based one. It is imperative to focus on the studies of statutory sentences.
