扒窃行为的解读与评析

Interpretation and Analysis of "Pick-pocketing Crime"

《刑法修正案(八)》将扒窃入刑,作为盗窃罪的行为方式之一在客观上没有数额和次数的限制,使得许多司法实务者认为扒窃由"结果犯"变成"行为犯",即只要实施扒窃行为即使没有窃取财物仍然构成犯罪既遂,因而对于一切扒窃行为都要定罪处罚。文章认为,虽然扒窃行为没有数额和次数限制,但是扒窃与普通盗窃所侵犯的法益是一致的,其仍属于结果犯范畴。对扒窃行为的认定要受刑法总则第十三条"但书"规定的制约。

＂Criminal Law Amendment（8）＂ has put pick-pocketing behavior into criminal.As one of theft behavior,it has no limitation objectively on the amount of money and frequency of theft,which makes many judicial practitioners hold that pick-pocketing behavior belongs to behavior offense instead of consequential offense.That is to say that a person who carries out pick-pocketing will constitute larceny crime even without stealing money,so any pick-pocketing behavior should be convicted and punished.This article points out that,though it has no limitation on the amount of money and frequency of theft,the pick-pocketing behavior infringes the same legal interest as the ordinary theft does and belongs to the scope of consequential offense.The identification of pickpocketing behavior should be constrained by the proviso of Article 13 of criminal law.
