Abstract: The development of science and technology has created more risks and threats for human beings, and human society has entered a special period of “risk society”. With the development of science and technology, large-scale infringement incidents are constantly appearing in the risky society, which makes the issue of relief and compensation become a topic of the times.Because of the huge number of victims in large-scale infringement, the difficulty of defining causality before and after, and the complexity of measuring consequences, it is more difficult to compensate for damages in large-scale infringement; at the same time, the limitations of judicial litigation, liability insurance, administrative relief, and excessive reliance on the full involvement of the government, make the relief of large-scale infringement into a dilemma.Drawing lessons from foreign experience, it is an effective way to establish a social compensation system for large-scale infringement.

Key words: risk society, large-scale infringement, social sharing compensation system
