Abstract

The judgment of causality in criminal law should be normative judgment rather than simple factual judgment. Correspondence theory of causal relationship relies too much on the judgment of “correspond”, while the judgment of interventional causality generally determines whether the behavior is abnormal from the general point of view. The normative evaluation system embodied in the theory of objective imputation is more in line with the criminal policy requirements of multi-cause and one-effect complex causality judgment involving the factors of the victim. The risks that are not allowed by the antecedent behavior and the risks created by the antecedent behavior cover the risks of intervention, and the actual harmful results should be attributed to the victim's behavior of intervention. If the intervening victim's behavior creates a new risk or expands the risk of the antecedent behavior, the antecedent behavior can decisively affect the victim's choice of intervening behavior, and the causal relationship between the antecedent behavior and the result of criminal law should be affirmed. On the basis of the antecedent behavior, the victim's intervention behavior has a better choice, which should be attributed to the victim's own behavior.
