環境汙染問題在今時今日已然成為嚴重問題,而2013年發生的日月光後勁溪案,就是屬於重大環境汙染案件,也是本文開始研究的契機點,想了解為何一二審判決的落差甚鉅,並了解現行環境刑法相關理論和限制,本文分兩個研究要點,一為探究傳統因果關係於現行環境汙染案件之難題,另一則觀察現行分散式環境立法,保護之法益是否相同,針對此立法情形又該如何改善。 本文採用文獻分析法,就龐大文獻中爬梳出相關文獻,於傳統因果關係於現行環境汙染案件之難題此討論要點中,建議刑法第190條之1可增加未遂犯,欲令該法條條文能更發揮刑法之效;至於現行分散式環境立法之情形,於短期內,效法日本環境法基本法之作法已修訂現行台灣環境基本法,而長遠目標則可增訂環境犯罪章節或環境法典,以避免管制法肥大,且令現行法令疊床架屋、適用重複。 ;The problem of environmental pollution has becoming a serious problem in nowadays society.
