论量刑中的罪刑法定边界

量刑活动是否符合罪刑法定原则在司法上并非一个空洞的命题,其有着可操作的评价标准。这个标准既圈定了量刑与罪刑法定原则相契合的范围,也划定了量刑中的罪刑法定边界。基于罪刑法定的价值追求,在量刑中,罪刑法定的上限应止于具体法定刑幅度的最高刑;其下限则取决于由量刑情节所决定的实现罪刑相适应的需要。量刑中这样的罪刑法定边界,既是实现量刑合理与量刑合法有机统一的保障,也是规范量刑裁量权行使的藩篱与向导。

On the Boundary of Legality in the Sentence

Whether the sentence meets the principle of legality is of operational evaluation criteria,and therefore which is by no means an inane topic judicially.This criteria selected a scope corresponds to the sentence and the principle of legality,and delimited a boundary of legality in the sentence.Based on the value pursuit of the legality,the maximum limit of the principle of legality in the sentence should end in the maximum legally-prescribed punishment;while the minimum limit depends on the requirement of the balance between a crime and a punishment according to circumstances for sentencing.Such a boundary of legality in the sentence is not only the safeguard to realize the organic unification of the sentence justice and sentence legitimacy,but also the barrier and guide to regulate the measurement rights of the sentence.
