On the Criminal Responsibility of Buying Abducted Women or Children: The Human Dignity Perspective

Buying and selling abducted women or children are symmetrical crimes, but the “the same punishment for the same crime” is not applied. The focus of the criminal punishment for buying abducted women or children is not about increasing the statutory sentence, but strengthening judicial and law enforcement, to increase the prosecution rate and impose combined punishment for several crimes including the buying of abducted women or children and other subsequent crimes, so as to demonstrate the inevitability of criminal punishment. Human dignity is the core legal interest violated by the crime of buying abducted women or children. The specific legal interest is that humans are not for sale, which should be valued and protected independently in criminal law. This crime is a type of behavioral offense rather than a crime of circumstances. Under normal circumstances,neither the consent of the victim nor the goodwill of the purchaser excludes conviction of the crime. Compared with the crime of abducting and trafficking women or children, buying abducted women or children is not necessarily a serious crime, and the basic statutory punishment of less than three years is reasonable. However, it is possible to appropriately raise the sentence to less than five years in legislation.Where subsequent behaviors do not constitute a crime, they can be used as aggravating circumstances for the crime, and an aggravated statutory sentence can be configured to connect with the statutory punishments for the crime of abducting and trafficking women or children.

论拐卖人口类犯罪的立法重构

打击拐卖人口类的犯罪一直是我国刑事立法和刑事司法的重要任务之一,而现行刑法将妇女、儿童以外的其他人口排除在外,造成了司法实践中关于拐卖人口类犯罪适用的困境,因此应对拐卖人口类的犯罪进行立法重构,以便更有效地预防和惩治拐卖人口的犯罪活动。

收买被拐卖的妇女、儿童罪法定刑的走向:维持论、买卖同罚论抑或有限提高论

我国关于拐卖妇女、儿童犯罪的立法存在“重卖轻买”的现象。理论上对收买被拐卖的妇女、儿童罪的法定刑存在维持论、买卖同罚论以及有限提高论三种观点。维持论忽略了收买行为的附带性,收买被拐卖的妇女、儿童罪规定存在的目的是为了打击拐卖妇女、儿童犯罪而非后续重罪。买卖同罚论忽略了拐卖行为与收买行为在主观恶性、客观危害上的差异。拐卖行为的社会危害性远高于收买行为,不应对二者予以同罚。根据罪刑均衡原则,出于惩罚犯罪的正义性、预防犯罪的合理性的需要,应当有限提高收买被拐卖的妇女、儿童罪的法定刑。本罪的社会危害性远高于侮辱罪、诽谤罪,对其法定刑的配置应当高于侮辱、诽谤罪。在法定刑提高幅度的判断上,出于追诉需要,结合国内外立法,可以考虑将本罪的最高法定刑提升至7年有期徒刑。

在轻重之间求平衡——论收买被拐卖妇女罪的完善

刑事政策轻缓化符合当今世界的发展趋势。在轻罪刑事政策指导下,应当对收买被拐卖妇女罪依据不同的情形进行非犯罪化、非刑罚化和非监禁化的处理。收买被拐卖妇女罪属于轻罪,对该罪的修改应该在轻罪刑事政策的指导下进行,对该罪的具体情形进行细化区分,通过增加罚金刑、缓刑和法院禁止令等手段,完善收买被拐卖妇女罪。
