直播下的罪恶——刑法中“公共场所”的理解

Crime in Live: Understanding of Locus Publicus in Criminal Law

直播产业快速发展的今天,能否将网络理解为"公共场所"决定了直播实施特定犯罪能否构成犯罪或成立加重情节。2013年《诽谤信息解释》将网络视为"公共场所"引发了学界的争议。实际上,"公共场所"之所以作为入罪要素或加重情节,从目的上考量,并不是因为行为本身可能造成现实中的混乱,而是受众具有不特定性。因此,在"公共场所"的解释上,应当理解为包括虚拟空间,其中可以将"场所"拆解为"场"和"所","场"表示存在于空间中的特殊物质或虚拟现象。同时,录制后传播实施犯罪过程的基于目的性角度也可以认定为"公共场所",在解释上理解为"具有公共性"即可。

In the era when the industry of live casting raises,whether the live casting can be understood as locus publicus determines whether the crime in the live casting can be confirmed or aggravated. The Explanation of Libel in 2013 which sees network as locus publicus raises the debate in the academic circle. In fact,considering from the goal,the reason of taking locus publicus as the element of crime which can be confirmed or aggravated,is not that the act can make mess in practice,but the audience is unspecific. Therefore,locus publicus should be seen as including virtual space. The word can be separated as space and field,and the field can be comprehended as the special material or phenomenon. Moreover,casting criminal acts and then spreading it can be seen as locus publicus,which can be interpreted as being of publicity.
