In the information age, the Internet is increasingly connected with people's daily life and has become an indispensable part of people’s social life. However, online violence is increasingly widespread and suicide incidents caused by Internet violence also occur frequently. Although the country has issued relevant judicial measures to regulate the phenomenon of online violence, there are some limitations. This paper mainly focuses on solving two major problems, which include whether to regulate the behaviour of suicide caused by online violence by criminal means and how to regulate the behaviour. The article is written by legal norm analysis method. The main body of the article is divided into three parts. Firstly, the historical background and academic research status of suicide behaviour caused by online violence are explained which clarifies the fresh type criminal attribute of the behaviour, then demonstrates its legitimacy as a crime should be regulated by criminal means. Secondly, it qualifies online violence behaviour by comparing it with traditional violent criminal behaviour. Moreover, it discusses the necessity of regulating the suicide behaviour caused by online violence from the perspective of the modesty of criminal law. Finally, according to the existing regulatory thoughts in the academic circle and individual thinking, this paper proposes a criminal regulation path suggestion combined with China's national conditions and relevant foreign regulatory means.
