交通肇事罪在1997年修订的现行刑法中将其纳入“危害公共安全罪”一章，然而该罪的“逃逸”和“逃逸致人死亡”语义甚为模糊没有具体化，这是一个立法的漏洞，直接导致了司法实践的处理困难和理论的重大争议。通过着重对交通肇事逃逸致人死亡的行为进行建构性的分类，并且对其分类行为分别予以定性，交通肇事逃逸致人死亡的行为都应当定性为故意，一方面是基于对罪刑相适应原则的考虑，另一方面是基于对社会公平正义理念的追求和更为有利地保护公共安全和被害人的利益。只是在对逃逸行为的具体定性上又区分两种情形，在单纯的逃逸中，应当对行为人定交通肇事罪和间接故意杀人；在移动的逃逸中，应当对行为人定交通肇事罪和直接故意杀人。

Crime of traffic accident is incorporated into the chapter of “The Crime of Endangering Public Safety”in the existing criminal law revised in 1997.However,the concept of “Escape”and “Causing Death”is not clear.This is a direct result of legislative loopholes,which leads to difficulty in judicial practice and theoreti-cal controversy.By focusing on the classification of traffic accidents causing death due to driver’s escape and the definition of different types of such traffic accident,it is accepted that traffic accident causing death should be characterized as intentional acts.On the one hand,it is based on the principle of crime and punishment corre-sponding to each other;on the other hand,it is based on the pursuit of social justice and the protection of public safety and the interests of victims.There are two cases on the escaping behavior.For negative escape,it should be regarded as a traffic crime and indirect intentional homicide;yet for positive escape,it should be taken as a traffic crime and direct intentional homicide.
