对绑架罪中绝对确定法定刑条款的思考

我国刑法在绑架罪中规定,绑架＂致使被绑架人死亡＂和＂杀害被绑架人＂处死刑。这种绝对确定的法定刑符合罪刑法定的要求,有利于司法的一致性。但是,绑架＂致使被绑架人死亡＂和＂杀害被绑架人＂分别包含不同情形,二者相互之间及其不同情形的主观恶性和社会危害性等不尽相同,根据罪责刑相适应原则,不应当采取完全相同的法定刑。绑架罪中绝对确定法定刑应当进行修改,赋予法官一定的自由裁量权,从而更好地实现司法正义。

Thoughts on Clauses of Absolute Determinate Statutory Punishment in Kidnapping Crime

China’s criminal law stipulates that ＂causing the death of the kidnapped person＂ and ＂killing the kidnapped person＂ will be sentenced to death.Such kind of absolute determinate statutory punishment meets the requirements of punishment by law,which is conducive to judicial consistency.However,causing the death of the kidnapped person＂ and ＂killing the kidnapped person＂ contain different situations respectively.They are different from each other and their subjective malignance and social perniciousness,etc..According to the principle of suiting penalty to crime and criminal responsibility,the same statutory punishment shouldn’t be taken.Therefore,absolute determinate statutory punishment in kidnapping crime should be revised by giving certain discretion to judges in order to realize judicial justice better.
