PECULIARITIES OF QUALIFICATION OF HOOLIGANISM AND OTHER CRIMES MOTIVATED BY HOOLIGANISM

Abstract

The article notes that hooliganism is fairly common criminal attacks committed in the Russian Federation, but over the last few years there has been a steady downward trend in the number of reported crimes under article 213 of the Criminal Code. At the same time, law enforcement officers have a lot of questions when qualifying hooliganism and distinguishing it from other crimes committed from hooligan motives. These circumstances are primarily due to the presence of evaluation features in the disposition of part 1 of article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Substantiates the position of authors about differences in the content of the notions “a motive hooligan” and “hooliganism” and, in this regard, the incorrectness of some clarifications of the Plenum of the Supreme Court on qualification of crimes committed out of hooliganism.
