中止犯是刑法总论中的重要内容,不仅影响行为人的定罪,对量刑亦具有重要作用。但是,由于观念上的偏差和研究思路上的误区,无论国外还是国内理论界,对中止犯的研究大多只停留在整体层面上,而对作为中止犯成立的必备要件之一——中止行为没有给予足够的重视和研究。中止行为是指在犯罪过程中,出于自己的意思自动消灭了犯罪既遂危险的行为。由该定义又进一步归纳出中止行为的特征,指出“时空性”“自动性”“有效性”和“彻底性”是中止行为的特征而非中止犯的特征。 Suspension of criminals is an important part of the general theory of criminal law, which not only affects the conviction of the perpetrator but also plays an important role in sentencing. However, due to the deviation of concepts and the misunderstanding of research ideas, most of the studies on suspects have been stopped at the global level both in foreign countries and domestic theorists, but one of the essential requirements for establishing suspects Did not give enough attention and research. Suspension of behavior refers to the criminal process, for its own sake, automatically eliminate the criminal act of taking the risk. By this definition, we further summarize the characteristics of abortive behavior and point out that “spatiotemporality ” “automatism ” “validity ” and “thoroughness ” are characteristics of abortive behavior rather than discontinued.
