一个游走在罪刑法定边缘的罪名--以危险方法危害公共安全罪问题研究

摘要

Clarity is the basic requirement of the principle of legality,it is of great significance to conviction and sen-tencing. For the crime of endangering public safety in a dangerous way, on the one hand, the law clearly stipulates it as criminal acts, and prohibit it with penalty, which basically does not violate the principle of legality; on the other hand, as a probable concrete accusation stipulated by the intercept terms established, legal description of the objective behavior is no more than the name summary, it is indeed contrary to the clarity of the criminal law. In this way, giving the crime of endangering public safety the correct definition has become a pressing matter at present.%　　明确性是罪刑法定原则的基本要求，它对于定罪量刑具有重要意义。就以危险方法危害公共安全罪而言，一方面，法律明确将其规定为犯罪行为，并用刑罚予以禁止，从根本上说没有违背罪刑法定；另一方面，作为一个属于概然性规定的堵截条款确立的具体罪名，法律对其客观方面行为的描述没有超过对罪名的概括，确实有违刑法明确性之虞。如此一来，正确界定以危险方法危害公共安全罪就成为当务之急。
