寬嚴相濟與中庸反腐

The Policy of Mutual Complementing between Severity and Leniency with the Middle and Stable Course in Fighting Corruption

寬嚴相濟是具有中國特色的刑事政策，是中國傳統文化中的中庸之道在打擊和預防犯罪中的運用。面對多年積累的腐敗犯罪案件，中國需要在查處腐敗中運用寬嚴相濟的刑事政策。以寬濟嚴，就要適度寬恕舊罪，就要明確寬嚴界線，就要少用慎用死刑，其要旨是公正透明。以嚴濟寬，就要既打“老虎”也打“蒼蠅”， 就要既查官貪也查民貪，就要既抓受賄也抓行賄，其要務是全面徹查。採取寬嚴相濟的政策有助於保持查處腐敗的常態並取得反腐敗的長效。

The mutual complementing between severity and leniency is a criminal justice policy with Chinese characteristics, and the application in fighting and preventing crimes of the middle and stable course philosophy in Chinese traditional culture. Facing the serious problem of corruption accumulated in past years, China should take the strategy of mutual complementing between severity and leniency. For complementing severity with leniency, it is necessary to give pardon to some old crimes properly, to draw a clear line between severity and leniency, and to use death penalty as less as possible, while the basic principle is fair and transparent. For complementing leniency with severity, it is necessary to hit both 'tigers' and 'flies' , to investigate both public power corruption and private power corruption, and to catch botii bribe-takers and bribe-givers, while the principal task is to strictly investigate all cases. The application of the policy of mutual complementing between severity and leniency will be helpful for maintaining regularity and effectiveness in fighting corruption.
