反腐败视野中贪污受贿犯罪定罪量刑模式的问题与出路——基于《刑法修正案(九)》的分析

Problems and Countermeasures for Conviction and Sentencing Patterns of Corruption and Bribery Crimes in Vision of Anti-corruption:An Analysis of Criminal Law Amendment(Ⅸ)

以数额作为对贪污受贿犯罪定罪量刑的主要标准,虽然直观明了,但过于僵化。《刑法修正案(九)》废除了这一标准,采用"数额与情节择一"的模式,将有利于解决罪刑失衡难题。以往的数额量刑标准难以跟上经济发展的社会现状,若继续采用这一标准势必要不断修改《刑法》,不利于保证《刑法》条文的稳定性,而采用弹性标准则可以克服此矛盾。在贪污受贿案件中,数额的因素只能作为计算罪量的一项参数指标,而情节的因素则理应通过贪污受贿犯罪的情节规定加以明确适用。同时,数额与情节在定罪量刑中的考量比重还需进一步明确。

Although it is easy and clear to take the amount of money as the main criteria when convicting and sentencing the case of corruption and bribery, it is too rigid. Criminal Law Amendment （IX） has replaced this standard by the ＂amount or circumstance＂, which will help solve the problem of the imbalance between conviction and sentence. Previous sentencing standards of amount cannot keep up with the economic development. Criminal Law must be constantly modified if keep using the standards, which makes it difficult to guarantee the stability of the articles in the Criminal Law. The new flexible standard can solve the problem. In the case of corruption and bribery, the ＂amount of money＂ is just a reference indicator, while the ＂circumstance＂ should be strictly applied according to the provisions of corruption and bribery. At the same time, the proportion of ＂the amount＂ and ＂circumstance＂ in conviction and sentencing needs to be further clarified.
