摘要
犯罪严重性程度决定着刑罚严厉性程度。但现行中国刑法里的犯罪轻重仅仅由轻重不等的法定刑加以表示 ,如果没有其他“刻度”指示犯罪的轻重 ,人们只能凭借刑之轻重这一结果反推罪之轻重这一原因。本文研究的问题是 ,犯罪本身是否存在着某种独立于法定刻度即法定刑之外的某种轻重刻度 ,如果存在 ,它对罪刑关系的科学分析有何意义。为此 ,本文主要讨论了罪量分析的障碍、罪量评价体系及其意义。
Punishment should be suited to the crime; in current Chinese criminal law, however, the seriousness of a crime is indicated solely by its prescribed penalty. In other words, given no other “scale,' the verdict becomes the only way to show the graveness of a crime. We set out to ascertain whether any other independent scale exists beyond the law to decide the seriousness of a crime; and if so, what this would mean for scientific analysis of the relation of crime to punishment. We focus our discussions on difficulties in the quantitative analysis of crimes, frameworks of evaluation and their significance.
