Development of the regulation of intermediate injury in the criminal legislation of some foreign countries

Abstract

The paper attempts a comprehensive analysis of the most significant and well-known acts of some foreign countries containing norms of a criminal law nature relating to provisions on mediocre infliction and the institution of incitement, which is very similar in meaning. The analysis chronologically includes the period from ancient times and the early Middle Ages to modern times. The basic conclusions confirm the fact that criminal liability for mediocre infliction from a social and legal point of view was heterogeneous - from an aggravating circumstance to mitigating repression due to the “non-independence” of the role of the person involved.
