"以自首论"司法解释的瑕疵及改进

最高人民法院《关于处理自首和立功具体应用法律若干问题的解释》,在一定程度上弥补了《刑法》关于“以自首论”规定的不足,但它仍存在一些缺陷:一方面,没有对某些理论上和实践中存在较大争议的概念进行界定;另一方面,把“正在服刑的罪犯”界定为“已宣判的罪犯”、“其他罪行”限定为非同种罪行不太科学等。“以自首论”应界定为:“被依法关押的人员,如实供述司法机关还未掌握的罪行。”对于其中“司法机关”的外延、“尚未掌握”的标准应作出准确的界定。

On Judicial Explanation about "Be Regarded as Voluntary Surrender" Defects and Improvements

The Supreme Court has published "Judicial Explanation about Voluntary Surrender and Contribution of the Application of Some Concrete Law Problems",which perfects the defect of the "Criminal Law" somehow,but it is still unperfected.On the one hand,it doesn't define some concepts which are controversial;on the other hand,it calls the criminal in prison as the criminal who has been judged.The other crimes are explained for different crimes.It's not so exact.The meaning of voluntary surrender should be that the person who is put into prison legally confers his crime which is unknown by the judicial organ.The scope of the unknowing and the judicial organ should be written exactly.
