寻衅滋事罪犯罪客体的新定位

New Orientation of Crime Object of Defiance and Affray Crime

2013年11月"两高"发布了关于《办理利用信息网络实施诽谤等刑事案件适用法律若干问题的解释》(以下称《解释》),《解释》第五条规定了将利用信息网络编造虚假信息、恐吓他人等手段造成社会秩序混乱的,以寻衅滋事罪定罪处罚。此规定引发了较大争议,部分学者和司法界人士认为本《解释》是对寻衅滋事罪犯罪客体做了类推解释。文章从寻衅滋事罪的理论来源、立法定位、法律解释等角度来论述新的社会环境下寻衅滋事犯罪客体的定位,希冀为司法实践中适用寻衅滋事罪提供一定参考。

In November 2013,the Supreme People＇s Court and the Supreme People＇s Procuratorate of the People＇s Republic of China released ＂Explanation on the Application of Laws of Handling the Criminal Cases of Implementing Defamation through Information Networks＂（ short for ＂Explanation＂）. It is provided in Article 5 of ＂Explanation＂that those who fabricate false information or intimidate others through information networks causing social disorder should be convicted and punished as defiance and affray crime. This provision has caused a great controversy. Some scholars and members in judicial circles think that ＂Explanation＂makes analogical interpretation on the crime object of defiance and affray crime. From the perspective of theoretical source,legislative position,and legal interpretation of defiance and affray crime,the article discourses the orientation of the crime object of defiance and affray crime in a new social environment,hoping to provide a reference to the application of defiance and affray crime in judicial practice.
