Abstract:

The low-altitude economy has been incorporated into the national strategic emerging industries. Its social development has generated multiple risks, including public safety and data security, leading to governance challenges such as imbalance in criminal circles and under-enforcement of certain behaviors. In this regard, it is necessary to systematically categorize the types of risks and analyze the difficulties in the current criminal law regarding the definition of legal interests, adaptation of constitutive elements, and the configuration of punishments. It is recommended to adopt a legal interest protection-oriented approach, cautiously broaden the interpretation of existing offenses, and, when appropriate, establish specific new offenses, in order to optimize the structure of criminal governance and ensure a systematic response, thereby safeguarding the safe and regulated development of the low-altitude economy.

Key words: low-altitude economy, low-altitude aircraft, safety risk, criminal regulation
