对在我国刑法中增设社区服务刑的若干思考

社区服务刑作为非监禁刑的一种重要形式,体现了刑法的谦抑性和刑罚轻缓化的特征,有助于实现犯罪人的再社会化、避免短期监禁刑的弊端。在我国,社区服务刑可以平衡监禁刑与非监禁刑的轻重程度、完善我国的刑罚体系,推进社区矫正制度的落实以及降低行刑成本、实现行刑的经济性。在刑法中将社区服务刑规定为一种附加刑,并限定其适用的条件、执行程序和执行的内容,对完善我国刑罚体系不失为一个有益的选择。

Reflections on Construction of Community Service Sanction in China

As an important form of non-imprisonment punishment, community service sanction meets the criminal trend of modesty and mitigation, helping bring the criminal into the process of re-socialization and avlod the disadvantage of short-term imprisonment. In China, it can help to balance the degree between imprisonment and non-imprisonment penalty and improve the penalty system. Also it can promote the implementation of community correction system and achieve economics of execution. It would be a good choice to bring community service sanction into our criminal law as an additional punishment.
