论刑法的“网络扩张”——兼评“关于网络诽谤等犯罪的司法解释”

On the Expansion of Criminal Law to the Cyberworld——Comment on“the Judicial Interpretation about Cyberdefamation”

针对网络失范向现实社会蔓延所造成的严重危害及其引起的司法难题,"两高"通过颁布抽象性司法解释的形式作出应对,实现了刑法的"网络扩张","关于网络诽谤等犯罪的司法解释"便是刑法向网络扩张的典型代表。由于我国的传统刑法立足于现实社会,"现实"刑法在应对虚拟网络犯罪时具有局限性,扩张性司法解释也只能暂时应对网络犯罪的变化。根本上解决网络犯罪问题,需要克服我国目前大一统刑事立法之局限,针对网络犯罪制定专门的网络刑事立法。

For the serious harm and judicial challenges caused by Information Anomie and cybercrime in the cyberworld, China＇s highest judicial department drafts ＂judicial interpretation＂ which achieves expansion of Criminal Law to the cyber- world, and we can see the expansion of Criminal Law to the cyberworld from the comment of ＂the judicial interpretation about cyberdefamation＂. Chinese Criminal Law bases on real world, the ＂reality＂ of Criminal Law will have limitations especially in response to the virtual cybercrime, the expansive interpretation of criminal rules could only be a temporary way to deal with cybercrime. Consequently, to governance cybercrime, we should draft a single Criminal Law specially a- gainst the characteristics of cybercrime.
