摘要
The new types of cybercrime have different features from traditional“cumulative crimes.”The application of the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law has run into difficulties,and the relevant theoretical explanations of substantive preparatory crime and being an accomplice in crime find it hard to achieve self-consistency.Legislation on the new types of cybercrime is a legitimate response to recent changes in this area.Utilizing the particular techniques of cybercrime and the circumstantial requirement of limiting the amount of criminal harm is the key to satisfying the conditions for offences warranting criminal punishment.The harmfulness of the new types of cybercrime is not great;the law’s circumstantial requirements are flexible,and the criteria for judicial application are unclear,so the law’s provisions are seldom invoked and the sphere of criminal activity is unduly expanded.In order to give full play to the effectiveness of this legislation,we should formulate reasonable judicial rules that accord with the constitution of cybercrimes,narrow down the constituent elements of such crimes in a reasonable way,and categorize and limit the interpretation of circumstantial requirements.
新型网络犯罪具有不同于传统犯罪的“积量构罪”特征,刑法相关规定的适用遇到困难,按照实质预备犯、帮助犯相关理论解释难以实现理论自洽。新型网络犯罪立法是回应网络犯罪新变化的正当性立法,利用信息网络实施的特殊犯罪方法和限定犯罪危害量的情节要件是其满足刑事违法性和刑罚可罚性条件的关键。新型网络犯罪行为的危害性不大,情节要件弹性大,相关司法适用标准不明确,导致适用率低并出现犯罪圈的不当扩张。为了充分发挥新型网络犯罪立法的功效,应根据其特殊的罪行构造制定合理的司法规则,对其构成要件要素合理缩限和对情节要件类型化限定化解释。
