Abstract:In judicial practice, the sentencing measurement for accepting bribes has serious imbalance, whose reasons for this situation result from both prevailing unspoken rules and judicial errors. At the same time, the defects and shortcomings of existing laws and judicial interpretations themselves are institutional factors for the imbalance in sentencing. The removal of the drawbacks of the imbalance for accepting bribes sentencing should restrict judges discretion in sentencing via judicial interpretation, and establish the principles for joinder of punishment for plural crimes, and take bribed amount and circumstences as the basis of the sentencing.
