摘要
对于污染环境罪的罪刑均衡问题,应当从法定刑和司法实践两个层面进行分析。就法定刑而言,污染环境罪的法定刑较之破坏环境资源保护罪中其他相关罪名偏轻。就司法实践而言,污染环境罪中行为犯的自由刑较轻尚可以理解,但结果犯和结果加重犯的平均自由刑明显偏轻以及罚金刑缺乏较为明确的标准且总体偏轻,就不尽合理。为了更好地实现污染环境罪的罪刑均衡,建议将该罪的法定刑划分为三个层次,分别适用于行为犯、结果犯、结果加重犯,并提升最高法定刑。在司法实践中,对污染环境罪的结果犯和结果加重犯进行从轻或者减轻处罚时应当严格认定,主要以行为人的违法收益作为判处罚金刑的依据。
The balance of crime and punishment of"the crime of environmental pollution"can be analyzed from two aspects:statutory punishment and judicial practice.As far as the statutory punishment is concerned,the statutory penalty of the crime of environmental pollution is lighter than that of other related crimes in undermining environmental and resources protection.As far as judicial practice is concerned,it is understandable that the liberty penalty of behavior crime in the crime of environmental pollution is relatively light,but the average liberty penalty of consequential crime and aggravated consequential crime is obviously light,and the fine penalty lacks a clear standard and is generally light,which are not reasonable.In order to achieve a better balance between crime and punishment of environmental pollution crime,it is suggested that the statutory punishment of the crime be divided into three levels,which are respectively applicable to behavior crime,consequential crime and consequential aggravated crime,and the highest statutory penalty should be promoted.In the judicial practice,the result crime and the result aggravated crime of environmental pollution should be strictly identified when they are given lighter or mitigated punishment,and the illegal gains of the perpetrator is the main basis for the penalty.
