Abstract
With the construction and development of a society ruled by law, the state pays more and more attention to the protection of human rights. Among them, the crime of abducting and trafficking in human beings stipulated in China’s criminal law has gradually attracted widespread attention from the society. While the state has cracked down on the crime of abducting and trafficking in human beings, the academic circles have aroused heated debate on whether it is necessary to amend the statutory penalty for the crime of buying abducted women and children.
In this regard, the discussion about «people are inferior to things» is also constantly fermenting between the mouthpiece of paper and pen. Starting from the legislative evolution and criminal constitution of the crime of buying abducted women and children, this paper discusses the problems of this crime in judicial practice based on the case data analysis of the crime of buying abducted human beings, and puts forward some suggestions on improving the statutory punishment and expanding the protected objects of this crime.
