高空抛物行为的刑法规制与限缩解释

The Criminal Regulation and Limited Interpretation of Throwing Objects at High Altitude

高空抛物行为的刑法规制中存在过度适用以危险方法危害公共安全罪的倾向,对这一倾向进行纠偏的关键在于厘清以危险方法危害公共安全罪的构成要件,"其他危险方法"的等价性在于损害蔓延的可能,"危害公共安全"要件强调的是不特定多数人的人身安全。《刑法修正案(十一)》明确了不符合"其他危险方法"要件的高空抛物行为的刑法适用,但仍然强调了抛物行为对法益造成了现实的、紧迫的危险,这在定性上更为精准,在量刑上亦更为轻缓,应予以支持。

There is a tendency of excessive application of the crime of endangering public security by dangerous means in the criminal law regulation of throwing objects at high altitude.The key to correct this tendency is to clarify the constituent elements of the crime of endangering public security by dangerous means.The equivalence of"other dangerous means"lies in the possibility of damage spreading.The element of"endangering public security"emphasizes the personal safety of the unspecific majority.The Eleventh Amendment to the criminal law clarifies the application of the criminal law to the act of throwing objects at high altitude which does not meet the requirements of"other dangerous methods",but it still emphasizes that the act of throwing objects at high altitude poses a real and urgent danger to the legal interest,which is more accurate in qualitative analysis and lighter in sentencing,so it should be supported.
