量刑规范化背景下的量刑效果评估

The Performance Assessment of Sentencing under the Context of Sentencing Standardization Reform

我国自推行量刑规范化改革以来,一直将一"数"五"率"作为评估量刑规范化效果的风向标,这一风向标是否能有效地反映量刑效果的好坏仍有待考量。在目前司法体制中,将量刑效果评估进行绩效化处理,容易造成司法潜规则的盛行,偏离刑罚的目的。量刑效果的评估应当回到量刑本身,即以量刑公正和量刑效率为中心。好的量刑评估机制的构建,必须具备量刑监督制度、判决的量刑说理等相关配套措施。量刑效果评估不仅需要评估方法多元化,而且应做到评估的多方互动。

Since China implemented the sentencing reform, one ＂number＂ and five ＂efficiencies＂ have been regarded as the assessing vane of the sentencing standardization. But whether this benchmark can effectively reflect the implementation effect of the sentencing reform remains to be considered. Under current judicial system, the performance of sentencing assessment may cause the abuse of underlying rules and deviation from the purpose of punishment. The assessment should follow its initial purpose, which means to focus on fair sentencing and sentencing efficiency. To build a good sentencing mechanism, we must take supporting measures, such as sentencing supervision system and the sentencing interpreting. Thus, a better sentencing assessment requires the proper use of a variation of assessment approaches.
