刑罚体系问题研究

刑罚的轻缓化是当今世界刑罚的整体发展趋势,但我国现行刑罚制度的重刑化倾向严重。重刑易破坏公众的公平正义观念;重刑会导致刑罚功能的贬值;重刑易导致刑罚外的其他预防犯罪的措施难以落实。因此,有必要改革我国现行刑罚体系:消减死刑;完善自由刑;扩大财产刑和资格刑等非监禁刑的适用范围;增设社区服务刑等,使其与刑罚轻缓化的世界发展趋势相一致。

On Problems of Penalty Structure

The developing trend of punishment is the mitigation of punishment on the world.But China’s current penalty system has trend of misdemeanor.Misdemeanor easily undermines the concept of public justice;misdemeanor would lead to the devaluation of the penalty function;and misdemeanor easily leads to other crime prevention measures can hardly be implemented.It is therefore necessary to reform the structure of our existing penalties: to reduce the death penalty;to improve freedom of punishment;to expand property eligible for criminal punishment and non-custodial sentences such as the scope of application;to set up punishment such as community service,so as to acclimate the developing trend in the world.
