The criminal legislation of bribery crimes has shown a gradual improvement process,and the legislative revision of the criminal law amendment(Ⅻ)on bribery crimes is also a reflection of this process.The revision of the criminal law amendment(Ⅻ)on bribery crimes focuses on the level of punishment,indicating that criminal legislation is not solely responsible for expanding the criminal circle,and the improvement of punishment is closely related to crime governance.The legislative revision of bribery crimes helps to change the pattern of heavy bribery and light bribery,and strives to restore the system coordination of punishment needs,emphasizing the regulatory function of circumstances on punishment.The amendment(Ⅻ)to the criminal law clearly lists the heavier circumstances as a basis for the legality of sentencing decisions,but it also leaves many confusions for the standardized application.It is necessary to base on legislative provisions and the principles of criminal rule of law to carry out the doctrine,ensure the precise implementation of the principle of legality of crime and punishment in the judiciary,and prevent the problem of imbalanced punishment caused by generalization or arbitrary application.
