犯罪競合處于定罪與量刑的交叉與沖突點上。德國犯罪競合理論一方面嚴格遵循行為數即罪數的定罪規則,另一方面又必須貫徹禁止重復評價與全面評價的量刑原則。不真正法條競合名為法條競合,卻行想象競合之實,是罪數規則與量刑原則沖突妥協的產物。這導致了德國法條競合理論內部的體系混亂,以及其與想象競合之間界限的模糊。在繼受德國犯罪競合理論的過程中,在解決我國刑法所面臨的特定競合問題時,應當回歸競合的基本原則。只有從禁止重復評價與全面評價的量刑原則出發,才能正確理解法條競合與想象競合區分的必要性,才能正確處理罪量相關的中國式競合問題。若兩罪規定了不同性質與類型的定量要素,即便在定性要素上存在一般與特殊的關系,也應按照想象競合的規則從一重處斷。

The question of criminal concurrence is the transition from conviction of guilty to the measurement of the penalty. In light of the conviction the German criminal law theory establish the basic rule that the quantity of crime is decided by the quantity of behavior,which to a certain extent are contradicted to the principle of prohibition against double evaluation and requirement for overall evaluation.Although the impure legal concurrence has the name of legal concurrence,yet its measurement of penalty follows the rule of ideal concurrence. It is the result of conflict between the principle for quantity of crimes and the principle for the penalty measurement,which leads to an unclarified differentiation between ideal and legal concurrence,and can not be applied to the Chinese concurrence theory. In light of the principle of prohibition against double evaluation and requirement for overall evaluation,the separation between legal and ideal concurrence is necessary and possible. This dividing rule applies also,when it relates to the quantitative element of crime. The legal concurrence can only be justified,only when the two of conflicting criminal regulation set up the same quantitative element. Otherwise the ideal concurrence is to be confirmed.
