拐卖儿童罪：设刑与动刑--兼论“轻处”倾向的背后因素

针对拐卖儿童罪的重刑吁请，从设刑上，中国《刑法》已为该罪配置了足够重的法定刑，在与100个具有代表性的法域针对该行为的法定刑设置对比上，中国为本罪配置的法定刑仍属重刑之列；从动刑上，司法实践中对于拐卖儿童罪绝对重刑的比值虽然较高，但在本罪与其同罪异体的拐卖妇女罪以及盗窃、诈骗、绑架罪等11个犯罪相对重刑的对比中，发现法官群体针对本罪存在相对“轻处”的倾向，而隐藏于背后的父母同意情况下犯罪人拐卖儿童罪的高比重情况，可以对此倾向予以解释。

Penalties Configuration and Penalties Distribution of the Crime of Child Trafficking---the Hidden Factors of Tendency of Relatively Lenient Sentencing

Responding to the appeal of severe penalty on child trafficking crime, China Criminal Law has already set heavy punishment on it in legislation. Contrasting with the legal punishment on the child trafficking crime in 100 jurisdictions, the punishment in China could also be viewed as severe penalty; in practice, the ratio of absolute severe penalty is high enough, however, after comparing the ratio of relative severe penalty among child trafficking, woman trafficking and other 11 crimes, such as larceny, crime of fraud, crime of kidnapping, a tendency of relatively lenient sentencing is found in practice. The hidden situation of child trafficking by parents could explain this tendency.
