Cyber Variants of Traditional Crimes and Criminal Law Responses

Abstract

传统犯罪网络变异的原因是多方面的，直接诱因是网络空间的技术性代际差异； 传统犯罪的网络变异表现为犯罪构成要件要素的变异、社会危害性的变异和犯罪形态 的变异三个方面。扩张化的司法解释是解决这一问题的首要选择，但其局限性也是明 显的；面对网络空间中传统犯罪的变异态势，将部分预备行为提升、独立化为实行行 为，将部分共犯行为加以正犯化，将会是未来刑事立法无法回避的两个选择。 关键词: 网络犯罪 传统犯罪 社会危害性 刑事立法 变异 The reasons for cyber variants of traditional crimes are many. A direct catalyst is the generation gap caused by the transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. Such variation takes the following three forms: variation in the elements constituting a crime, in the social harm done and in the form of the crime. Expansion of judicial interpretation is the primary choice for handling cybercrime. However, its limitations are also obvious. In the face of cyber variants of traditional crimes, we argue that raising the status of some acts of preparation to that of independent acts of execution and making some joint offenders into principal offenders offers two important solutions that can no longer be avoided by China's criminal law legislation.
