國民黨擬推鞭刑 沈伯洋:應細緻討論而非浪費時間公投

Quick Look

國民黨立委洪孟楷擬修法增列「強制鞭打」作為重大犯罪從刑。民進黨參選人沈伯洋對此表示,鞭刑涉及身體刑比例原則等細緻議題,若立委不願深入討論而直接訴諸公投,不僅無法解決犯罪問題,更是在浪費民眾時間。

國民黨立委洪孟楷預告修正「刑法」,針對重大性暴力、毒駕、虐童致死或致重傷及重大加重詐欺等犯罪類型,擬增列「強制鞭打」為從刑。對此,身兼台北大學犯罪學研究所教授的民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋今(2日)指出,鞭刑有許多細緻的議題要討論,如果立委不願意進入細緻討論就直接公投,這並沒有協助大家解決犯罪。

沈伯洋在記者會受訪表示,如果國民黨真的覺得鞭刑是台灣未來重要的選擇,他們在立法院與民眾黨席次過半,可以直接立法就好,之前用公投的方式其實是在浪費民眾時間。他質疑,鞭刑有很多細緻的議題,比如說怎麼鞭?性別有沒有分男女老少幼?幾歲不能鞭?鞭的時候身體的評估要什麼?鞭了以後的效益如何?

沈伯洋指出,鞭刑是身體刑,但台灣的法律目前沒有身體刑,假如恢復鞭刑要符合比例原則,是不是所有身體刑都要討論?他強調,現在是嚴重的犯罪要鞭刑,但何謂嚴重犯罪的定義?貪汙、偽造貨幣、強盜算不算嚴重犯罪?鞭刑如何比例原則,其他身體刑如拔指甲、烙印在臉上要不要恢復?若要符合比例原則,這是立法院要細緻討論的,如果立委不把工作當一回事,也不願意進入細緻討論就直接公投,這並沒有協助大家解決犯罪。

Open Questions

  • 國民黨是否會正式提出鞭刑公投案?
  • 立法院對於恢復身體刑的法律見解為何?
