认罪认罚案件中的量刑建议精准化研究

Study on Precision in Sentencing Recommendations for Leniency for Guilty Pleas Cases

摘要: 2018年，我国对《刑事诉讼法》作出修订，此次修订以立法形式正式确立了认罪认罚从宽制度，同时，首次提出“量刑建议精准化”这一概念。量刑建议是指检察机关基于检察权向法院提出的量刑主张。在我国认罪认罚案件中，检察机关应当提出量刑建议，法院在作出判决时“一般应当采纳”检察院的量刑建议。量刑建议经历了由幅度刑向确定刑的发展历程，在这背后涉及控辩双方对案件的博弈，也关系到法检对于量刑权力的分配，本文将结合相关制度实践进行探讨。

Abstract: In 2018, China revised the Criminal Procedure Law, formally establishing the system of leniency for guilty pleas through legislation. This revision also introduced the concept of “precision in sentencing recommendations” for the first time. Sentencing recommendations refer to the sentencing proposals made by the procuratorate to the court based on its prosecutorial authority. In cases involving guilty pleas in China, the procuratorate should make sentencing recommendations, and the court “generally should adopt” the procuratorate’s sentencing recommendations when rendering a judgment. Sentencing recommendations have evolved from discretionary sentencing to fixed sentencing. This evolution reflects the strategic interactions between prosecution and defense in cases and also relates to the allocation of sentencing authority between the judiciary and the prosecution. This article will explore these issues in conjunction with relevant institutional practices.
