内容提要 模型回归结果显示,我国部分地区对受贿罪的量刑存在显著差异。进一步检验发现,这种差异的存在不能完全归结于受贿数额和量刑情节的不同,而是既与各地区对相同受贿数额的危害性评价不同有关,又与各地区对从轻、减轻处罚功能的选择不同有关,还与各地区对从轻、减轻处罚幅度的计算不同有关;且不能排除是由其他因素所导致。研究结论表明,《刑法修正案(九)》和"两高"最新司法解释确立的"数额+情节"的弹性定罪量刑标准亦难以消减受贿罪量刑的地区差异。所以,需要因地而异地调整受贿罪的具体数额标准,明确从轻、减轻处罚功能的选择依据,统一量刑情节调节基准刑的具体比例,以尽可能地消减受贿罪量刑的地区差异。

Abstract: The results of regression model show that there are significant disparities in sentencing of bribery crime of different regions. Further inspections manifest that such disparity cannot be completely attributed to differences of bribery amounts and sentencing circumstances but is related to differences on evaluations of harmfulness of same bribery amount, choices of lighter or mitigated punishment, and calculations of the range of lighter or mitigated punishment as well as other potential factors. Research conclusions indicate that Amendment IX to the Criminal Law and the latest judicial interpretation by the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate adopting a flexible sentencing provision focusing on both "amount and circumstances" have little effect on alleviating regional disparity in sentencing. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the amount and standard of bribery crime according to local conditions, clarify the basis for the choice of lighter and mitigated punishment, and unify the adjustment proportion of the datum penalty through sentencing circumstances to narrow regional sentencing disparity as far as possible.
