意見規(guī)定，

故意從高空拋棄物品，尚未造成嚴(yán)重后果，但足以危害公共安全的(intentional high-rise littering activities that have not caused serious consequences but are sufficient to endanger public safety)，依照刑法第一百一十四條規(guī)定的以危險方法危害公共安全罪定罪處罰;

為傷害、殺害特定人員實(shí)施上述行為的(anyone who commits the acts with the purpose of injuring or killing a specific person)，依照故意傷害罪、故意殺人罪定罪處罰。

意見明確提出，依法從重懲治高空拋物犯罪。具有下列情形之一的，應(yīng)當(dāng)從重處罰，一般不得適用緩刑：

多次實(shí)施的(repeatedly committing the acts);

經(jīng)勸阻仍繼續(xù)實(shí)施的(continuing to carry out such acts after being dissuaded from doing so);

受過刑事處罰或者行政處罰后又實(shí)施的(committing the acts after receiving criminal or administrative punishment);

在人員密集場所實(shí)施的(conducting the acts in crowded places);

其他情節(jié)嚴(yán)重的情形。

意見規(guī)定，過失導(dǎo)致物品從高空墜落，致人死亡、重傷(anyone who causes objects to fall from high altitudes due to negligence, resulting in serious injury or death)，符合刑法第二百三十三條、第二百三十五條規(guī)定的，依照過失致人死亡罪(manslaughter)、過失致人重傷罪(severe injury due to negligence)定罪處罰。在生產(chǎn)、作業(yè)中違反有關(guān)安全管理規(guī)定，從高空墜落物品，發(fā)生重大傷亡事故或者造成其他嚴(yán)重后果的，依照刑法第一百三十四條第一款的規(guī)定，以重大責(zé)任事故罪(crime of major accident liability)定罪處罰。
