摘　　要：新中国刑法中的酌量减轻规定直接来源于苏俄刑法典,同时也受到了我国台湾地区刑法典、日本刑法典等的影响。酌量减轻作为一项有利于被告的量刑制度,具有救济"情轻法重"、健全"轻罚机制"的功能。97刑法属于重刑结构,加之出罪机制不畅,要达致个案公正,尤应充分发挥酌量减轻的补救功能。酌量减轻的规定不违背罪刑法定原则,也与宽严相济刑事政策的精神相契合。Mitigated punishment in criminal law of the P.R.C directly originated from the criminal law of Soviet Union,and it has also been positively influenced by the criminal law of Chinese Taiwan,and that of Japan,and so on.As a sentencing system for the defendant,it has the function of redeeming when the slight crimes with severe punishments were prescribed so as to perfect the lightly punishing mechanism.In the criminal law（1997） of the P.R.C,severe punishments were prescribed.Considering the fact that the decriminalization mechanism does not run smoothly,mitigated punishment＇s function of redeeming should be highly regarded so as to produce justice in concrete cases.Mitigated punishment is not against the principle of a legally prescribed punishment for a specified crime,rather,it conforms to the spirit of the criminal policy of temper justice with mercy.
