Seksuāla rakstura darbību izpratne un kvalifikācijas problēmjautājumi

Abstract

With the amendments of 21 May 2009 and 15 May 2014, major changes have been in troduced in the Criminal Law provisions regarding criminal offences against sexual inviolability and morality. The amendments had a significant impact on understanding features of corpus delicti of these offences as well as on its application in practice. Although the amendments in general are viewed as positive, the analysis of court practice (case law) shows – the understanding of current provisions and, consequently, legal evaluation of the committed criminal offences is not uniform. The aim of the article is to identify the essence and causes of problematic issues with regard to qualifying the criminal offences against sexual inviolability from the point of view of criminal law provisions and theory of criminal law. atslēgvārdi: dzimumnoziegumi, izvarošana, seksuālā vardarbība, seksuāla rakstura dar­ bības, kvalifikācija keywords: criminal offences of sexual nature, rape, sexual violence, acts of sexual nature, qualification
