It has been established that such an interpretation of the characteristics of the subject of this crime may cause negative legal consequences of a systemic nature.\u0000In particular, such an interpretation may lead to a violation of the system of criminal law on corruption bribery, which is already provided for in the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and according to which the trading in influence by officials or persons providing public services qualifies under Article 369-2. As a result of the new interpretation of the signs of the subject of trading in influence, certain types of such a crime will be qualified under Article 368 of the Criminal code of Ukraine, and Article 369-2 will cease to be such that in all cases has signs of corruption. Such a decision does not comply with the provisions of the UN Convention against Corruption, in which the trading in influence under Article 18 of the Convention is recognized as an independent type of corruption crimes.\u0000Expanding the range of subjects of crime under Part 2 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal code of Ukraine will also lead to competition of this article with other articles of this Code about non-corruption crimes. Article 369-2 will have an advantage in application and provide for stricter liability, but there is no legal basis for such an increase in liability. Similarly, Article 369-2 may unreasonably apply to actions that are not socially dangerous.\u0000It is substantiated that the provisions of Part 3 of the note to Article 354 of the Criminal code of Ukraine have direct value for correct definition of the subject of trading in influence (Part 2 of Article 369-2 of the Criminal Code). According to them, as well as taking into account the systemic links of this criminal law, the subjects of this crime should be recognized as an official or a person who provides public services. This article of the Code should be criminally liable for bribery to trading in influence (opportunities) associated with the official (in a broad sense) powers of such persons.","PeriodicalId":387320,"journal":{"name":"Herald of the Association of Criminal Law of Ukraine","volume":"25 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133008951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is established that at the first stages of formation of legal technique commitment for intelligibility was reflected only in the proximity of the language of acts (primarily vocabulary) to the living vernacular. It was gradually realized that not only the improvement of terminology, but also the specifics of syntax, standardization of individual articles of criminal law, clear structure and sequence of material both within articles and in general are necessary for intelligibility of the criminal law. \u0000An analysis of the texts of Russkaya Pravda (various editions), three Lithuanian Statutes, \"Rights under which the Little Russian people are tried\" showed that during the existence and validity of these acts there was a process of forming an authentic national tradition of lawmaking, legal technique of criminal law was improving. These acts, compared to the then European ones which were difficult to perceive and understand, were easily applied and generally understandable to a wide range of subjects of criminal law. For this purpose, linguistic and stylistic means were used and subsequently improved: in the conditions of diglossia the language of normative acts was brought closer to the vernacular with the obligatory use of clear, according to their origin, legal tokens; an attempt to describe accurately the action through a casuistic statement and at the same time an awareness of the need for an abstract statement (so far only by supplementing the lists with generalizing words); uniformity of construction of criminal law prohibitions; more logical systematization of normative material, structuring both acts as a whole and certain criminal law provisions. At the same time the desire for accuracy and clarity gradually leveled such a requirement as conciseness.","PeriodicalId":387320,"journal":{"name":"Herald of the Association of Criminal Law of Ukraine","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121786682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author proves that the scale of vandalism and the consequences of its commission increase due to the ignoring of this problem by the legislator.\u0000 The main criterion for criminalisation is the need to use it to combat a particular type of action. This need is due to the impossibility of preventing certain types of anti-social behaviour by non-criminal means. This aims at the legislator to refrain from criminal liability in all cases without exception, when it is unable to serve the purpose of reducing the crime rate of the type.\u0000 Issues of criminalisation of socially dangerous acts are developed by modern criminal law science, but are not always taken into account in the development and adoption of certain laws on criminal liability, which may create imperfections in these laws and inconsistencies in law enforcement practice. Science has proposed many variants of the principles of criminalisation, which often differ significantly from each other. However, all of them can be grouped into 3 major groups: legal-criminological, socio-economic and socio-psychological. We proton to consider compliance with the grounds for criminalisation on the example of committing acts of vandalism, which we propose to supplement with aggravating circumstances.\u0000 The listed grounds for criminalisation of vandalism confirm the possibility to include it in the list of socially dangerous criminally illegal acts. It is clear that the list of these grounds is somewhat larger, and the proposed study lists only those that correspond to vandalism. In addition, it is not necessary for criminalisation to have all of these grounds at the same time and in combination, as any one or some of these grounds may be sufficient.","PeriodicalId":387320,"journal":{"name":"Herald of the Association of Criminal Law of Ukraine","volume":"735 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127756052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose the basic factors of social conditionality of criminal liability for the crime provided by Art. 166 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine was discovered and analyzed. These include social (socio-economic and socio-psychological), regulatory, criminological and institutional. It is established that socio-economic factors indicate the importance and necessity of the state to ensure the normal existence, development and upbringing of children and wards in an economically unstable situation in the country, inadequate material and living conditions, the progress of social orphanhood. It is researched that socio-psychological factors include the value of living of children and wards in the family environment, the difficulties of their socialization, the unfavorable psychological climate in the family. Regulatory factors are represented by a system of legal norms, which are enshrined at the constitutional, international legal, legislative and by-law levels. It has been found out that the social danger of persistent failure to perform duties related to the care of a child or a person under guardianship or in the custody is a main criminological factor. It is proved that the prevalence of the act, the validity of criminal measures to combat it and the high level of latency of this crime also determine the preservation of criminal liability for it. Institutional factors are reflected in the system of institutions of international and national (specialized institutions, law-enforcement agencies, non-governmental organizations) levels.","PeriodicalId":387320,"journal":{"name":"Herald of the Association of Criminal Law of Ukraine","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115076910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
