关于盗窃罪司法解释的思考

新近公布的盗窃罪司法解释全面贯彻了宽严相济的基本刑事政策。盗窃是否意味着"秘密窃取",旧司法解释将其定义为秘密窃取,而新司法解释则适应犯罪形势变化的需求取消了该规定。在盗窃罪牵连犯的处罚原则上,新司法解释确定为从一重从重处罚,更符合罪责刑相适应原则。单位相关人员犯非法定单位犯罪是否构成盗窃罪应以自然人的盗窃罪犯罪构成要件为判断标准,符合盗窃罪构成要件的应依法追究相关人员的刑事责任。

Reflections on the Judicial Interpretations on Theft Crimes

The latest promulgated judicial interpretation on theft crimes implements the basic criminal policy of tempering justice with mercy in an all around way.On whether theft means secret stealing, previous judicial interpretations defined it as secret stealing while the new judicial interpretation gives up such kind of definition to meet the demands of the changing crime situations.As for the punishment principle for implicated offences of theft, the new interpretation provides for imposing a more severe punishment in accordance with the more grave crime, which agrees more with the principle of punishment and responsibility conformable to crimes. The criterion for judging whether unit personnel committing non-statutory unit crimes constitutes theft, should be the constitutive elements of theft for natural persons.If the act of unit personnel accords with the constitutive elements of theft, the relevant personnel should shoulder the criminal responsibility for it.
