从非法占用农用地罪看罚金刑的适用——以2019年内蒙古非法占用林地案件为例

The Application of Fine Punishment from the Crime of Illegal Occupation of Agricultural Land:Taking the Cases of Illegally Occupying Forestland in the Inner Mongolia in 2019

《中华人民共和国刑法修正案(9)》对罚金刑进行大规模的修改之后,无限额罚金制的适用更加广泛,罚金数额如何确定也引起了不小的争论。基于对2019年内蒙古348个非法占用林地案件的研究分析表明,占用林地案件普遍存在适用缓刑较多、判处罚金数额波动幅度大、法官自由裁量权较大、量刑标准各异等问题。针对量刑标准缺失、法官自由裁量时倾向不同的司法现状,提出可通过司法解释和指导性案例的方式来分位阶细化无限额罚金刑量刑标准,结合辅助性措施来合理适用缓刑。

After the large-scale revision of Amendment(Ⅸ)to the Criminal Law,the application of unlimited fine system is more extensive,and how to determine the amount of fine has caused a considerable debate.Based on the analysis of 348 cases of illegal occupation of forestland in the Inner Mongolia in 2019,it is found that there are many problems in these cases,such as more applications of probation,large fluctuation of the amount of fine,large discretion of judges and different sentencing standards.In view of the lack of sentencing standards and the judicial situation in which judges have different tendencies in their discretion,this paper proposes to refine the sentencing standards of unlimited fine at different levels by means of judicial interpretation and guiding cases,and to reasonably apply the probation in combination with auxiliary measures.
