环境犯罪证明方法研究

环境犯罪行为迥异于一般的犯罪行为,尤其是对于污染型环境犯罪行为,确定犯罪行为与损害结果之间的因果关系相当困难。对此,国外产生了推定因果关系存在的各种理论与学说。我国现行法律规定的犯罪证明方法在环境犯罪的认定上存在着缺陷,针对我国环境犯罪案发率高但因果关系证明难度大这一现实矛盾,有必要借鉴国外相关立法,对环境犯罪适用的因果关系确定推定方法,以彰显刑法对环境资源、人身权及财产权的保护功能,实现人类社会的可持续发展。

Research of Methods to Prove Environmental Crime

The behaviors of environmental crime are different from the behaviors of usual crime.It’s difficult to define the causeand-effect relationship between criminal behaviors and damage effects,especially for the crime of polluting the environment.For this reason,foreign countries raised various theories to presume the existence of cause-and-effect relationships.Nowadays,the methods to prove criminal behaviors in our country’s law have some defects in the identification of environmental criminals.For the realistic contradiction between high occurring rate and difficulty to prove the cause-and-effect relationship,it is necessary to draw lessons from the laws of foreign countries to apply methods of presumption the cause-and-effect relationships in environmental crime,in order to show the functions of protecting environmental resources,personal right and property right,and to realize the continuous development of human society.
