实行的着手即行为人开始实施犯罪的实行行为。实行的着手是预备犯和未遂犯的分界线,具有重要的司法意义。不论在大陆法系刑法还是在英美刑法中,实行着手的判断标准都是颇具争议的问题。文章运用比较法的研究方法,分析了外国刑法中关于着手标准的各种学说,提出在我国刑法中对着手的判断,应当从主客观相统一的立场把握行为的内容,以行为在客观上对保护法益造成现实、紧迫的危险为着手。

A New Study on the Criterion for Beginning of Perpetration

Beginning of perpetration means the perpetrator starts the implementation of criminal behavior.Beginning of perpetration is of important judicial significance as it indicates the difference between a criminal preparation and a criminal attempt.The criterion for beginning of perpetration is a controversial issue according to both Continental and Anglo-American criminal laws.The author analyzes different viewpoints about the criterion for perpetration beginning in foreign criminal laws by adopting the comparative research methods.As a result,the author holds that beginning of perpetration should be considered with a unity of subjective and objective elements in Chinese criminal law,and perpetration beginning should be established when the behavior causes actual,imminent danger to the legal interests protected by criminal law.
