The crime of attacking the police is a new crime in the criminal law
amendment (11). In order to ensure the correct application of the new crime,
this paper will analyze it from the perspective of normative level and judicial
application: first, the legal interests protected by the new crime are the police’s
law enforcement power and personal health right, and there is a primary
and secondary distinction in the dual legal interests; Second, the scope of the
criminal object of this crime should be examined “substance before form”, so
as to bring the auxiliary police into the protection scope of this crime; Third,
the target of violence in this crime should include personnel and police goods;
Fourth, from the perspective of dogma, this paper will analyze the relevant
concepts of this crime, such as “violence”, “being”, “performing duties according
to law”, “seriously endangering personal safety”, and distinguish it from the
crime of obstructing public affairs, so as to apply this crime more accurately
and reasonably; Finally, for the prospect of the judicial application of the crime,
the author believes that only by strictly abiding by the attitude of prudent
conviction and tolerance, can we meet the requirements of the modesty of
criminal law and truly demonstrate the authority and justice of justice.
