Abstract The essence of the problem of using criminal law to affect sports injuries caused in sport lies in the fact that the means of criminal law to interfere in sport or not. From this perspective, we talk about two theories: the theory of absolute immunity sports and the theory of strict adherence to the rule of law. These two concepts are supplemented by a number of theories that perspective as an autonomous system that contains its own rules of conduct that regulate internal relations in sports. In the event that disciplinary liability is not sufficient in this case, can be applied liable under civil and administrative law.

Introduction. The publication is devoted to the corpus delicti, provided for by Art. 305 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which, being, in fact, a special type of official abuse, stands out as the direct object of a criminal assault and a special subject, since it can be committed exclusively by professional judges. The main features of the objective and subjective parties, qualifying signs of the offense are revealed, some problems that arise when applying this criminal law are outlined. Purpose. The goal is to analyze the design features of the crime and issues that arise when applying this rule. Methodology. The method of a formal legal analysis of the norms of the criminal law and theoretical provisions on problems directly related to the application of this rule was used. Results. The public danger of a criminal act that undermines the very foundations of justice is obvious, in connection with which it stands out as an independent crime by all the Russian Criminal Codes, starting in 1922, the history of criminal responsibility for its commission can be traced in our country in general since the 16th century. The current criminal law prohibition is characterized by considerable complexity, due to both the blanket nature of the disposition of the norm itself and the presence of discrepancies in the understanding of the signs embodied in it. Conclusion. The implementation of criminal liability for this crime involves the establishment of not only circumstances directly related to the corpus delicti that lie in the criminal law field. The subject of an infringement, a judicial act, must be subjected to procedural review without fail, after which, subject to the consent of the Higher Qualification Collegium of Judges of the Russian Federation, in fact, and the mechanism of criminal prosecution is “launched”. That is, a truly “multi-way” combination of actions is necessary, carried out in several stages, and the problem itself to some extent becomes interdisciplinary, going beyond only criminal law.

Corporation is the subject of a criminal act. In Indonesia, the statutory regulations that initiated the placement of corporations as subjects of criminal acts and which can be directly accounted for are Act No. 7 the Emergency of 1955 concerning Investigation, Prosecution and Economic Criminal Justice, as subjects of criminal law corporations do not have an inner attitude. Meanwhile, to be criminally accountable, a men's rea/schuld is required. Crimes committed by corporations are very detrimental to society and the state. Meanwhile, the conventional accountability system which is individual, direct, and based on schuld, is difficult to apply to corporations. The purpose of writing is to analyze the corporate liability system to impose crimes against corporations, and obstacles to imposing crimes against corporations. The method used is the statute approach (legal approach) and the case approach (case approach), the analysis method uses qualitative analysis with interpretation, and the data collection method uses library research. It can be concluded that corporations can be held accountable by using a system of absolute and substitute liability, and the obstacle is the application of a conventional criminal liability system and the difficulty of proving corporate wrongdoing. It is suggested that there is a common perception between law enforcers about the criminality of corporations.


The article gives the author’s definition of the concept of criminal violence and analyses its main types: physical and mental. The problems of the criminal law assessment of violence are considered as a sign of certain circumstances precluding the criminality of the act. The attention is focused on the fact that violence is an important category of teaching about the circumstances precluding the criminality of an act. It emphasizes that: violence acts as a legal basis for the existence of such circumstances; its existence gives the right to "unlimited" defence; it serves as the basis for bringing to criminal responsibility persons who have exceeded the limits of causing necessary and sufficient harm. The author draws attention to the importance of the criminal law assessment of subjective signs of violence. It is indicated that they are: the intent, purpose and motivation (motives) of committing actions. The sole purpose of such actions should be the goal of stopping unlawful acts and eliminating the danger. In the article, motivation is considered as a set of motives of actions similar in nature and content. It can be hostile, instrumental, negativistic and mixed. Establishing the type of motivation significantly affects the qualification of actions and the responsibility of the perpetrators. It is pointed out that crimes that are committed when the limits are exceeded, which are determined by the rules on circumstances precluding criminality, are related to the so-called “impulsive” crimes that are often committed in a state of emotional agitation (affect). This significantly affects the qualification of actions of the perpetrators, and in some cases leads to the release of the latter from criminal responsibility. Methods. When writing the article, the dialectical method, the methods of logical and historical analysis were used. They allowed analysing the existing criminal legislation and its historical development in the relevant field. Such a sociological method, such as the study of documents, makes it possible to back up the findings with the results of a study of judicial practice materials on the subject matter under investigation. Results and conclusions. Criminal violence in the General part of the doctrine of circumstances precluding the criminality of an act has the following meaning: it is an important category not only of the Special, but also of the General part of the legislation on criminal liability; is a category of teaching circumstances that exclude the criminality of the act; significantly affects the qualification of actions of the perpetrators in cases that are determined by the rules on the circumstances precluding the criminality of the act; in analysing the types of violence, both objective and subjective signs are important; together with the wilfulness of violent actions, the purpose and motivation (motives) of such actions matter; motivation of violent actions can be hostile, instrumental, negativistic and mixed; it characterizes the legal basis of certain circumstances precluding the criminality of the act; its use is the basis for the subject to "unlimitedly" use force for protection; it serves as the basis for bringing to criminal responsibility in case of exceeding the limits in certain circumstances, precluding the criminality of the act.

According to Part 1 of Art. 18 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is the subject of the crime is a natural convicted person who has committed a crime at the age of criminal responsibility. The special subject of the crime is a natural convicted person who committed at the age of criminal responsibility, a crime that can be subject only to a certain person (Part 2 of Article 18 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). Thus, the law defined a clear list of features that are mandatory when deciding whether to admit a person guilty of committing any crime, including those provided for in Article I of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. At the same time, the addition of the General part of the Criminal Code to Section XIV–1 «Measures of Criminal Law on Legal Entities» necessitates the harmonization of these provisions with the definitions of the subject of crime, guilt, criminal liability, punishment, complicity in crime and other institutions of criminal law. . In this regard, it is justified that the subject of the crimes, provided by Art. 109–1141 is an exclusively physical, condemned (restrictedly convicted) person who committed the crime at the age specified in sections 1 and 2 of Art. 22 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It has been found out that the subjects of some crimes may in fact be persons who, before committing crimes, have been 18 years old (treason committed by a serviceman), 21 years (committing acts of the People's Deputy aimed at violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of the state authorities), 35 years (committing a crime under Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine by the President of Ukraine), etc. However, in such cases, it is not a matter of increased age of responsibility, but of the possibility of acquiring a person of the appropriate legal status, which presupposes intellectual (to exercise certain powers) and physical (to pass military service) fitness for a certain type of activity. The questions of special subjects of crimes against the bases of national security of Ukraine, which can be divided into the following groups, are investigated: 1) a citizen of Ukraine (Article 111); 2) foreign citizen or stateless person (Article 114); 3) a representative of the authorities (Part 3 of Article 109 and Part 2 of Article 110). It is proved that the actions of a person who acquired the citizenship of another country should be qualified under Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as this fact is only a reason for the loss of citizenship of Ukraine and the issuing of a relevant decree of the President of Ukraine on this issue. Attention is drawn to the need to clarify the provisions of Art. 109 and other norms of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Part 1 of Article 294, Part 3 of Article 296, Part 1 of Article 342, Article 349 and Part 2 of Article 4361 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) in terms of predicting the liability of public authorities in them for taking appropriate action. Considering the possibility of interfering with the lawful activity of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations (Article 1141 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) by means of socially dangerous inactivity of officials, which may impede the conduct of mobilization activities, the necessity of making appropriate changes to Part 2 of the above is justified article.

The category of abstract-danger crimes not referring in hallmarks to the riskiness for legal good raises the question whether behavior formally fulfilling all the features of one of these types of crimes, without being risky, may be the subject of criminal liability. This question arises from the fact that there is no logically necessary relationship between the compliance with this kind of statutory description and the real occurrence of the riskiness. The answer to this question is sought in this paper by using normative analysis conducted in the context of human rights and of the constitution. This method makes it possible to understand the significance of the relation between behaviors and legal goods for the legitimization of a legal norm. So, the method shows what kind of the relation constitutes the state's competence to prohibit certain behaviors (the level of a sanctioned norm) and what character the relation must have to justify imposing a criminal penalty for given behaviors (the level of the sanctioning norm). These considerations, having a specific and pragmatic aim, which is to settle whether the behaviors realizing all hallmarks of the abstract dangerous type of crime but atypically non-risky could be a factual basis for criminal repression, at the same time show the limits of criminal law because they allow seeing what the conditions are that constitute the state's competence to use penal repression.

The regulation of corporate criminal liability in Indonesia's criminal justice system is basically a new and still debatable issue. It is said that because in the Criminal Code is not recognized and regulated explicitly about the corporation as a subject of criminal law. This is a natural thing since the WvS Criminal Code still adheres to the principle of "societas delinquere non potest" or "non-potest university delinquere", that is, a legal entity can not commit a crime. Thus, if in a society there is a criminal offense, then the criminal act is deemed to be done by the board of the corporation concerned. Regarding the corporate criminal responsibility system in Indonesia, in the corruption law Article 20 paragraph (1), if the corporation committed a criminal act of corruption, then those responsible for the criminal act shall be the corporation only, the management only, or the corporation and its management. Thus, it can be said that the regulation of corporate criminal liability in the legal system in Indonesia is expressly only regulated in special criminal legislation, because the Criminal Code of WvS still adheres to the principle of "societas delinquere nonpotest" so it is not possible to enforce corporate criminal liability in it.

In modern Russian criminal law means diminished responsibility, that the subject is not capable to regulate meaningly legally significant behaviour at the moment of socially dangerous act. Such disability comes at presence if the subject has the chronic or time mental disorder, an aphrenia or other disease state of mentality. The specified clinical phenomena define medical criterion of diminished responsibility. Special interest represents disorders which in ICD- 10 concern to «Personality Disorders» (F60-F68). Here mental disorders which have no so-called remedial basis are meant, or in their structure it is impossible to note signs of weakening process. At the same time they not only qualitatively differ from the accepted norm, but also under known conditions possess that depth or expression that can be regarded as medical criterion of the formula of diminished responsibility. The research which has been spent in the Department of psychogenias and personality disorders of Institute of Serbsky included 80 men at the age from 20 till 45 years by which the diagnosis «Personality disorder» was established. It has shown that there can be 3 variants of influence on responsibility: they can cause full loss of liability; can essentially reduce the criminal liability; their presence can be neutral and not render influences on liability. The analysis of expert judgements shows, that in expert judgements about disability of the subject to regulate the behaviour meaningly it is necessary to estimate components both medical, and psychological criteria of diminished responsibility.

The article examines the criminal-legal aspects of the actual problem of protecting the inviolability of the individual from the unacceptable activity of state representatives in the exercise of law enforcement functions. Topical issues for theory and practice of the legal nature of the provocation of crime and the falsification of criminals remain debatable. There are no unified approaches to the qualification of provocative and inflammatory actions and cases of "throwing" objects to citizens, for the turnover of which criminal responsibility arises, there is no theoretical justification for the criminal legal status of persons provoked to commit a crime. The article shows that the qualification of common cases of provocation of crimes and falsification of criminals according to the norms providing for liability for abuse of official authority, falsification of evidence or the results of operational investigative activities should be recognized as not accurate. At the same time, responsibility for these actions committed by subjects who are not officials, and without the participation of the latter, has not been established at all. The author proposes a draft criminal law provision providing for liability for inducing to commit a crime or its staging in order to illegally create grounds for criminal prosecution. The paper questions the approach according to which a person provoked by law enforcement officers to commit a crime is not subject to criminal liability regardless of the specifics of the encroachment.
