对敲诈勒索罪的理性思考——以有利于被告的原则为视角

Rational Thinking on the Crime of Extortion——In Perspective of in Favor of the Defendant

对敲诈勒索罪的犯罪构成及其与相关罪名,主要是与抢劫罪的区别,近年来,已有不少学者从不同的角度发表高见,可以说是众说纷纭,莫衷一是。不过大多学者都是从敲诈勒索罪与抢劫罪的犯罪构成的区别来进行论证,但鲜有学者从刑法人权保障,即存疑时有利于被告的角度去评判两罪。从人权保障角度、从有利于被告的角度去评判或许是更理性的选择。刑法并不仅仅是为了打击犯罪,更重要的是为了保障人权,两者不能偏颇。

Scholars mostly argue the difference of the crime of extortion and robbery from the crime constitution, but few scholars from the human rights protection of criminal law, which is questionable for the defendant＇ s point of view to judge two crimes. If to judge from the perspective of beneficial to the defendant , it may be a more rational choice. Criminal law is not only to fight crime, but also to protect human rights, which both cannot be biased.
