摘要
嫖宿幼女罪最富争议之处在于其刑罚配置。相对强奸罪而言,该罪没有设置无期徒刑、死刑,因而给人以刑罚力度不够之感而受到强烈的批判。如细究之,该罪与强奸罪本来就存在构成要件的差异,并且,该罪的基本行为和加重行为可以在设定的刑罚区间内得到相应的匹配。因此,嫖宿幼女罪并不需要通过法条竞合等解释来适用强奸罪之加重犯的刑罚,其现行刑罚配置完全能够在罪刑均衡的评判下获得解释论上的足够合理性。
The penalty configuration is the most controversial topic in the crime of prostituting girls under the age of 14.Compared with the crime of rape,no life imprisonment and death penalty are set.So it seems that the pun-ishment of this crime is not severe enough,and thus leads to strong criticism by some people.If take a closer look,however,we will find that there are differences between this crime and the crime of rape in constituent ele-ments.Besides,both basic crime and aggravated crime can get corresponding punishment in this punishment range.Thus,there is no need to match the punishment of aggravated crime of rape with the crime of prostituting girls under the age of 14.The existing penalty configuration can obtain enough rationality from the theory of inter-pretation according to the principle of balance between crime and punishment.
