组织卖淫罪刑罚适当性辨析

Analysis on the Appropriateness of Penalty of the Crime of Organizing Prostitution

我国刑法关于组织卖淫罪法定刑的规定,无论是从犯罪形态变迁视角、罪质特征,还是从刑罚体系内在协调的要求,都已不具有适当性。虽然通过协助组织卖淫罪的分立和相关司法解释的细化规定,在一定程度上缓和了这种不适当性,但并未从根本上解决问题,反而带来了组织卖淫共同犯罪中帮助犯的认定难题。解决问题的根本路径在于修改组织卖淫罪的罪刑规定,适当降低法定刑幅度,尤其需要降低法定最低刑。

The provisions of the statutory penalty for organizing prostitution in China’s criminal law, whether from the perspective of criminal pattern change, the characteristics of the crime, or from the internal coordination of the penalty system requirements, have not been appropriate. Although the division of the crime of assisting in organizing prostitution and the detailed provisions of relevant judicial interpretations has alleviated this inadequacy to a certain extent, it has not fundamentally solved the problem;rather it has brought about new difficulties in identifying the assisting offender in the joint crime of organizing prostitution. The fundamental way to solve the problem lies in revising the provisions of the crime of organizing prostitution and reducing the legal penalty range appropriately, especially the statutory minimum penalty.
