Questions about the peculiarities of the responsibility of a law enforcement officer for committing a premeditated murder in the performance of their duties in the context of necessary defense and detention of a criminal are explored. In the science of criminal law, one of the debates is the question of recognizing the subjects of premeditated killings when exceeding the limits of the necessary defense and when exceeding the measures necessary to detain the offender of law enforcement officers. In criminal law, there are several points of view regarding the qualification of actions of a police officer in causing them harm to the detained person and in the necessary defense. What are the causes of death in case of exceeding the limits of necessary defense or in case of exceeding the measures necessary for the detention of a person who committed a socially dangerous assault by a law enforcement officer – intentional murder if the limits of necessary defense are exceeded, or in case of exceeding the measures necessary for detention power or authority. When deciding on the responsibility of a law enforcement officer in the conditions of necessary defense and detention of the perpetrator, it is necessary to establish: whether the requirements of the sectoral legislation regarding the grounds for the use of weapons, special means and physical influence measures have been met, and whether the requirement that “in case of impossibility to avoid the use of force, it shall not exceed the extent necessary to fulfill the duties assigned to the police and shall minimize the possibility of harming the offender's health to members of the public”. In compliance with both requirements, liability is excluded – such acts are not criminal. In case of non-compliance with such requirements, a law enforcement officer should be criminally responsible for a crime in the field of official activity. In addition, one should not forget that one of the conditions for the lawfulness of causing harm to a person in detention is the time of detention – immediately after the commission of the encroachment. With this in mind, in the deliberate killing of a detainee immediately after committing an encroachment on him, the actions of a law enforcement officer should be qualified under Art. 118 of the Criminal Code, and in the case of a similar act, if the detained person, for example, is wanted, for a similar crime – no. In such a case there will be, in the presence of signs, excess of power (Article 365 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The article is devoted to the analysis of some problematic aspects of determining the types of crimes perpetration of which by a law enforcement officer is of criminal and legal importance; various scientific works related to this topic are analyzed. The status of a law enforcement officer, who is an official, in many cases has criminal and legal value and affects both the qualification of the crime committed and the imposition of punishment. However, it should be noted that in the majority of cases such acts committed by law enforcement officers are too far from their law enforcement activities. The article investigates crime composition that provides for criminal responsibility for committing crimes by law enforcement officers and delineates them, conditionally dividing the crimes into seven groups that can be committed by a law enforcement officer, and the status of a law enforcement officer is of criminal and legal importance directly in the last four groups. Attention is drawn to the lack of a comprehensive study of the responsibility of law enforcement officials in the country and to the fact that the status of a law enforcement officer is of criminal and legal significance only in cases when a crime is committed in which according to the provisions of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the subject of a crime is an official himself or when a law enforcement officer commits socially dangerous act, the subject of which is an official, or a qualifying feature of which is the commission of an act by an official using his or her official position, since the law enforcement officer is also an official performing the functions of a representative of the authorities.

The article discusses the concept of “change of situation” as the basis for release from punishment. The author adheres to the position of the need to use in the law only those concepts that are revealed through signs that are understandable to everyone. Article 80.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is examined as a norm that does not meet this criterion. The author claims that the content of this norm does not allow a clear idea of the content of the concept. As evidence, numerous examples from law enforcement practice are given, illustrating the inconsistancy of understanding the studied Institute of criminal law by investigative personnel and the judiciary. Each law enforcement officer, due to the lack of clear wording, is forced to interpret the norm independently, filling it with arbitrary content. This approach, of course, is unacceptable. Moreover, the interpretations often used are far from the main idea of the institution of release from punishment due to change in a situation and allow confusion or substitution of the term with other criminal law terms. In some cases, the courts consider it possible not to show specific circumstances at all, though they indicate a change in situation after the commission of the crime. Examples are given from practice where, instead of bringing arguments about change in situation, the law enforcement officer simply lists circumstances mitigating the punishment, names circumstances that should be taken into account when sentencing, names signs of active remorse or reconciliation with the victim. The author considers this state of affairs unacceptable and proposes, as alternative options for solving the problem, either introducing appropriate amendments to Article 80.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to clarify the concept, or rejecting this institution of criminal law.

Currently, the economic sector of public relations is characterized by exceptional criminality. One of the main phenomena responsible for this is illegal money cashing. Almost every business entity considers it acceptable and even necessary to resort to various criminal schemes for obtaining unaccounted cash and tax evasion. The very type of this crime has actually become a thriving and profitable business, which consists in providing services for withdrawing funds from legal circulation. While the existing judicial and investigative practice in the issue of countering this phenomenon has not yet developed a clear answer about the need for appropriate qualifications. There are about a dozen articles of the criminal law in which law enforcement officers try to find the correct legal assessment, and at present, article 172 of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation “Illegal banking activities” deserves special attention.
