作为知识与金钱的一种违法交易,“枪手”现象已成为考试制度的一种顽疾．产生“枪手”现象的原因很多,其中考试法的缺位以及现行规章规制的不力是其中很重要的一个因素．从目前的情况看,“枪手”现象已经超出了道德规制的范畴,并已经对社会造成了严重的危害性,而“枪手”现象的泛滥也为法律介入考试领域提供了现实基础．可以说,“依法治考”不但必要,而且可行． As an illegal transaction of knowledge and money, the “gunman” phenomenon has become a stubborn illness in the examination system. There are many reasons for the “gunman” phenomenon. The absence of the examination law and the ineffectiveness of the existing regulations and rules are one of the most important factors. Judging from the current situation, the phenomenon of “gunmen” has gone beyond the scope of moral regulation and has caused serious harm to the society. The proliferation of “gunmen” also provides a realistic basis for the law intervention in examinations. It can be said that “rule by law” is not only necessary but also feasible.
