涉众型网络寻衅滋事罪的司法认定

Judicial Determination of the Crime of Seeking Trouble and Causing Trouble through Stakeholder Network

摘要: 涉众型网络寻衅滋事罪是传统寻衅滋事罪在网络场域衍生的新型犯罪形态，兼具网络空间的开放性以及涉众犯罪的规模化、危害性大等特征，已然成为网络空间治理的重心。相较于普通网络寻衅滋事行为，该类犯罪涉案主体较多、信息的传播速度更快并且伴随着线上线下危害的叠加，对网络公共秩序与现实中的社会秩序造成极大的危害。然而在司法实践中，本罪适用存在着诸多困境，就导致罪名“口袋化”适用问题突出，部分裁判违背罪刑法定与刑法谦抑性原则，对行为人的合法权利造成一定程度的损害。本文立足于网络空间秩序以及社会秩序，指出涉众型网络寻衅滋事罪的司法裁判争议焦点与认定难点，明晰此罪核心要件的实质判断标准，厘清层级化共犯归责边界与法定出罪事由，着力破解当前司法认定中的问题，为同类案件的审理提供理论参考与实践指引。
