量刑说理研究:现状、标准、成因及改革——以2014年8月1日中国裁判文书网公布的刑事裁判文书为样本

A Study of Sentencing Reasoning: Status, Standard, Causes and Reform——Based on a sample of the criminal judicial documents released by Judicial Opinions of China on August 1, 2014

长期以来,作为刑罚问题的重要一环,量刑结果得出的过程,即量刑说理在刑事裁判文书写作中的地位并没有得到应有的重视。随着司法体制和工作机制改革的深化,量刑规范化改革从2010年10月1日起在全国法院全面试行、从2014年1月1日起在全国法院正式实施,改革对裁判文书中的量刑说理亦作出了明确要求。然而,量刑规范化工作的实施对我国刑事裁判文书的量刑说理有何启示,会产生什么影响?因而有必要在考察量刑说理取得的成果、存在的问题的基础之上,全面分析探讨问题成因、说理标准及改革对策。

For a long time, as an important component of penalty problem, the sentencing process or sentencing reasoning has not received due attention in criminal judicial writing. With the deepening of the reform of the judicial system and working mechanism, the full trial of standardization reform of sentencing has been initiated in China since October 1st, 2010, and been formally implemented since January 1st 2014 in all national courts. In the reform, specific requirements are also made about sentencing reasoning in judicial documents. However, what lessons and impacts the implementation of sentencing standardization has on sentencing reasoning in China’s criminal judgment remain unclear. Therefore, based on a study of the achievements and problems of sentencing reasoning, it is necessary to analyze and discuss the origin, reasoning and reform of the problems on an overall scale.
