摘要: 在刑法方面，面对新兴的网络暴力问题，我国刑法仍存在规制难的问题，特别是规制边界不明，使得司法上对于网络暴力进行规制比较困难。本文系统分析了网络暴力刑事规制的实践困境，主要包括行为定性困难、主体认定困难、主观故意和因果关系认定困难、入罪标准严苛。深入探讨了其社会危害性、刑事违法性、可罚性等核心问题。在社会危害性方面，主要通过法益进行分析与判断并提出了量化标准。在刑事违法性的边界探索上，提出了具体的解释路径并对学界争议进行了分析；在刑法必要性下，主要分析了比例原则的适用。并提出了明确刑事规制边界的厘清方法，旨在为完善我国网络暴力的法律治理体系提供理论借鉴。

Abstract: In the field of criminal law, China’s legal framework still faces challenges in regulating emerging cyberbullying issues, particularly due to ambiguous regulatory boundaries that complicate judicial oversight. This paper systematically analyzes practical dilemmas in criminal regulation of cyberbullying, including difficulties in behavior characterization, subject identification, determination of subjective intent and causality, as well as stringent criminalization standards. It delves into core issues such as social harm, criminal illegality, and penalizability. Regarding social harm, the analysis primarily employs legal interests as a basis for evaluation, proposing quantitative criteria. For exploring the boundaries of criminal illegality, specific interpretive approaches are presented alongside academic debates. Concerning the necessity of criminal law, the application of the proportionality principle is examined. The paper also proposes methods for clarifying criminal regulatory boundaries, aiming to provide theoretical references for improving China’s legal governance system for cyberbullying.
