严惩行贿犯罪的法治路径

The Legal Route of Heavy Punishment to Bribery Crime

《刑法修正案(九)》延续了我国近些年来严惩行贿犯罪趋势。然而无论是从立法还是从司法的角度分析,继续严惩行贿犯罪将面临较大的法治风险,例如立法上的正当性受到质疑,技术侦查手段的滥用等。一些学者据此提出从宽处理甚至废除行贿罪也不符合法律的正当性原则。根据我国的实际情况,应该维持现有的行贿罪刑事政策,转而从制度上寻求突破,以达到惩治犯罪和保障人权的双重目的。

Amendment（IX）to Criminal Law continues the trend of heavy punishment of bribery crime in recent years.However,from both legislative and judicial points of view,it can be seen that to continue to punish bribery crime will be confronted with greater risk of legal system.For example,the legitimacy in legislation is challenged,which may lead to the abuse of the technical investigation means.Accordingly some scholars proposed to deal with leniency or even abolish the crime of bribery,which is not in line with the principle of legitimacy in law.According to the actual situation in China,we should maintain the existing law of bribery crime,and find a breakthrough in system in order to achieve the dual purposes of punishing crime and safeguarding human rights.
