환경보전관련 행정법규상 처벌조항의 법정형 정비방안

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There are such problems as imbalance of statutory penalty among similar violations, imbalance between free and monetary penalty, and excessive legislation in the punishment provisions in the current administrative laws and regulations about environmental conservation. Those problems are attributed to the fact that no enough review is conducted when enacting and revising law and that no in-depth research has been carried out on the punishment provisions in the administrative laws and regulations both in criminal and administrative law. Thus this study set out to examine the problems with the statutory penalty of the current administrative laws and regulations about environmental conservation and came up with a couple of arrangement plans based on them. The arrangement plans are as follows:
First, the statutory penalty among similar violations should be uniform. Applying different statutory penalties to similar violations just because the concerned laws and regulations are different does not make sense in terms of legal stability, general prevention, and trust in the administration of justice. Therefore, it is required to apply the uniform statutory penalty to similar violations even though the concerned laws and regulations are different.
Secondly, there should be mutual balance between free and monetary penalty by making a one-year sentence correspond with a 10 million won fine and increasing monetary penalty in proportion to penal servitude.
Finally, given that excessively punishment-oriented policies can cause side effects including hesitation with legal application, punishment should be replaced by negligence fine when it is a minor offense or a mere violation of administrative procedure.
If the punishment provisions in the current administrative laws and regulations about environmental conservation are arranged based on those plans, they will not only help the offense examination committee set the offense examination standards for environmental crimes, but also provide basics for establishing punishment provisions in many environment-related laws and regulations to be formulated in the upcoming low-carbon green growth age.
