随着年龄的增大,老年人的刑事责任能力逐渐减弱,而现行刑法对老年人刑事责任未作特别性规定,司法实践中对老年人犯罪量刑存在较大的偏差。刑法立法上应将“年老”作为法定从宽量刑情节,明确规定年满70周岁以上的人犯罪的,可以从轻、减轻、免于处罚。这一规定既具有生物学科学依据、深厚的传统文化和民意基础;也体现了刑罚个别化、人性化、经济性原则;完善了刑法立法结构,周全了对弱势主体的保护。
With the increase of age, the criminal responsibility of the elderly is gradually weakened, while the criminal law of the current criminal law does not make any special provisions on the criminal liability of the elderly. In judicial practice, there is a big deviation in the sentencing of seniors. Criminal law legislation should “old age ” as the statutory leniency section, clearly stipulates that people over the age of 70 criminal, can be lighter, mitigate, free of punishment. This stipulation not only has the biological scientific basis, profound traditional culture and popular opinion foundation, but also embodies the penalty individualization, humanity and economy principle; perfects the legislation structure of criminal law and comprehensively protects the disadvantaged subject.
