Abstract: The ideological origin of the victim's self-responsibility in ancient China lies in the requirement of “everyone loves himself” put forward by the feudal patriarchal political and cultural tradition, so it is not an imported product.At present, the legal basis of the victim's self-responsibility lies in individual self-determination, which transforms the perpetrator and the victim from an aggression relationship to a cooperative relationship in terms of normative evaluation.The victim determined risk-taking by himself, the resulting damage therefore does not belong to the category of crime in terms of criminal law tasks, basic principles of criminal law, and legal interests.The application of the victim's self-responsibility in China's criminal law is reflected in the areas of “quasi abettor” and “quasi aider”, omission offense, and aggravated consequential offense.It conducts a reverse exclusion test on the elements of the offense.

Key words: Victim's Self-responsibility, Assumption of Risk, “Quasi Abettor” and “Quasi Aider”, Omission Offense, Aggravated Consequential Offense

摘要: 我国自古就有被害人自我答责观念,或规定于刑律,或作为“司法先例”,其思想渊源在于古代家长制政治文化传统对个人提出的“各爱其身”要求,因此并非舶来品。当前,被害人自我答责的法理基础在于个人自我决定,这在规范评价上将行为人与被害人由侵害关系转变为合作关系。被害人自我决定地冒险,由此带来的损害从刑法任务、基本原则、法益侵害层面来看都不属于犯罪范畴。被害人自我答责在我国刑法中的适用,体现在“准教唆”“准帮助”行为、不作为行为、结果加重犯等问题领域,对行为人的构成要件行为展开逆向的排除检验。
