Curse others for breaking the law?

Cursing the death of others usually does not constitute criminal responsibility, because there is no actual infringement of legal interests; However, if the act of swearing involves openly insulting or fabricating facts to slander, if the circumstances are serious, it may constitute the crime of insult or libel. According to Article 246 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), it can be punished with fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights. Generally speaking, the crime of insult needs to be handled by the victim, but if the act seriously endangers social order and national interests, it can be directly prosecuted. A simple curse, if it does not cause serious consequences, may be regarded as a violation of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment and subject to administrative punishment.

Social impact of curse:

1. Psychological level: Curse may cause psychological stress and anxiety to the cursed, affecting their daily life and mental health;

2. Social relations: swearing may destroy the social relations between individuals, leading to lack of trust and interpersonal conflicts;

3. Cultural differences: under different cultural backgrounds, the acceptance of curses and social responses may be different, and some cultures may pay more attention to the influence of curses;

4. Legal boundaries: Although swearing itself does not constitute a crime, if it is accompanied by threats, defamation and other acts, it may involve legal responsibility;

5. Moral evaluation: The society may generally give immoral or uncivilized negative comments on swearing.

To sum up, it is not illegal to curse others, but if it involves public insults, slander and other acts, it may constitute criminal responsibility and can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of up to three years according to the criminal law; A simple curse may be punished by public security management.
