本論文研究範圍在於討論刑法第294條第1項有義務者遺棄罪及第294-1條有義務者遺棄罪之排除適用事由,藉由有義務者遺棄罪之探討,特別是直系血親尊親屬間因民法規定所要求之扶養義務關係,及刑法第294-1條之立法過程,分析兩者立法目的之磨合與法目的達成之可能。 因此,第二章「論有義務者遺棄罪」,將從有義務遺棄罪之保護法益開展,就本條之目的、性質及構成要件,以及學說及實務之看法作討論,並特別討論有關民法中親子間扶養義務課與之目的與範圍。第三章「有義務者遺棄罪排除適用事由之立法歷程」,係對刑法第294-1條之立法過程,從催生本條立法之民意究竟何來,到法務部及立法院審議過程所贊同或質疑之聲音,作一完整性的介紹,並整理其中不同意見或爭議問題,加以比較分析。 由於修法後,對於依民法親屬篇對無自救力人負有扶助、養育或保護之行為人之消極不作為行為,設有排除有義務者遺棄罪適用之事由。在第四章「論有義務者遺棄罪之排除適用事由」中,係以刑法第294-1條規定為核心,介紹其立法理由並討論其法性質及其構成要件。為探究其法律性質究何所屬,本文將從阻卻構成要件該當性、阻卻違法性、阻卻有責性、客觀處罰條件及個人排除或解除刑罰事由之理論基礎著手,藉由介紹以上理論之法理,進而推論本條性質是否有符合之可能,並提出本文見解。在第四章末,將就刑法第294-1條遺棄罪各款排除事由之構成要件,作一介紹與分析,並對照立法理由,討論各款理論之根據,是否能達到立法目的。最後,再次檢視以上介紹內容及推論過程,並據以作出結論。
