Under the background of the controversial judgment on the illegal cognition of statutory offense, this paper takes the crime of illegal mining as the entry point and combines with the controversial judicial judgment of the unlicensed mining behavior “recognized” by the administrative organ, aims to explore the impact of the substantial illegal cognition error on the reduction of crime responsibility. Through case analysis and normative interpretation, the research finds that the traditional form of illegality cognition in statutory offense cannot effectively respond to the offender’s misjudgment of the substantial illegality of the legal interest infringement, and the administrative organ's “recognition” may cause the offender to mistakenly believe that his behavior has not infringed the legal interest, which results in the substantial illegality cognition error. The degree of avoidability of such errors should be combined with the source of errors, and the criminal responsibility should be reduced or exempted by layers accordingly. The conclusion of the study argues that the function of the cognition error in substantive illegality should be recognized in the statutory offense, and the conflict between responsibility and judicial justice should be balanced by distinguishing the types and avoidability of the error.
