Judicial Determination Of The Crime Of Endangering Public Safety By Dangerous Methods

Both the case of grabbing the steering wheel of a bus and the case of throwing objects from high in the air,which were discussed by the public,involved the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means.Due to the conciseness of the provisions of criminal law,the "public security" and "other dangerous methods" in the charges are vague and abstract,which leads to the confusion of different sentences for the same case and different punishment for the name crime in judicial practice.The criminal object of the crime of endangering public security by dangerous means can not be simply summarized as "public security",but should be combined with the contents of the criminal object stipulated in the provisions to make a unified understanding."Public safety" should also cover virtual spaces.It is not necessary to use "endangering public safety" to judge whether it belongs to "other dangerous methods".The dangerous methods have their own independent judgment criteria and are homogeneous and consequential.Only by reasonably defining "public security" and "dangerous method" can the crime of endangering public security by dangerous method be applied accurately.
