There is no completely corresponding crime for causing suicide in modern criminal law, but in the Qing Dynasty, the accountability of others involved in suicidal behavior has been widely used in national laws and judicial practices. At the legal level, the Qing Dynasty had formed a relatively complete crime system for causing suicide. In judicial practice, the perpetrators in such cases have no "murderous intention" subjectively, nor objectively "killing" actions. The causal relationship is unclear and unspecific, and judicial officials need to use legal reasoning to judge. This book takes legal reasoning as the perspective and goes deep into the actual state of legal operation. By examining the accountability of others in suicide behavior and analyzing the pattern of accountability, this book will gain insight into the legal logic and legal thinking of the Qing Dynasty, and take a look at the entire legal world of the Qing Dynasty.
