“超市盗”案件的司法失衡与不起诉标准的规范化

Judicial Imbalance of"Supermarket Theft"Cases and Standardization of Non-prosecution Standards

“超市盗”案件几乎已经成为实践中最具有典型意义的“多次盗窃”类案件。目前此类案件的司法处理中存在失衡现象,一是不起诉标准不统一,对于数额相近、情节相似的“超市盗”案件,是否起诉存在着明显差异;二是“超市盗”案件在刑事和解中的赔偿金数额差别很大,随意性较强。之所以出现这种失衡现象,其原因一方面是盗窃罪的立法扩张与司法限缩之间矛盾的反映,另一方面则是由于被害人谅解与不起诉之间的不合理绑定。要解决上述问题,一是在市一级层面统一此类案件的不起诉标准;二是对此类案件刑事和解中的赔偿金数额予以规范化。

"Supermarket theft"cases have almost become the most typical"multiple theft"cases in practice.At present,there is an imbalance in the judicial handling of such cases.First,the standard of non-prosecution is not consistent,and there are obvious differences in whether to prosecute such cases with similar amounts and similar circumstances.Second,the amount of compensation in such cases varies widely and is highly arbitrary.The reason for this imbalance is,on the one hand,a reflection of the contradiction between the legislative expansion and judicial restriction of the crime of theft,and on the other hand,the unreasonable binding between the victim′s forgiveness and non-prosecution.To solve these problems,it is necessary to,on the one hand,unify the non-prosecution standards for such cases at municipal levels;and on the other hand,standardize the amount of compensation in criminal reconciliation of such cases.
