These areas include social networks, e-commerce, digital medicine, sharing economy, industry 4.0.The authors conclude that the digitalization of many spheres of life is accompanied by a positive effect, but also carries new threats and risks that are not reflected in criminal legislation. In such a situation, it is necessary to review the criminal law policy and develop a unified approach.

The article is devoted to the problems of criminal legal protection of a person in Ukraine. The number of articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (for example, Articles 115, 116, 117, etc.) do not take into account the specific features of those socially dangerous acts, for which they provide for liability, which does not allow to provide them with adequate criminal law assessment. The author analyzed the components of individual crimes that affect the life, health, sexual freedom and sexual integrity of a person. Based on the study, conclusions were made on the need for changes and additions to the current criminal legislation of Ukraine. It is proposed to understand murder as the most intentional unlawful infliction of death of another person and to abandon the term «murder through negligence», replacing it with «infliction of death through negligence» in Art. 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. In this regard, it is proposed to replace the term «premeditated murder» with «murder» in Articles 115, 116, 117, 118 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is also proposed to provide in Part 2 of Art. 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine as qualifying features of a crime murder of a minor, elderly person and representatives of other vulnerable categories of the population. The article points out the inexpediency of using the term «systematic» for actions for which liability is provided in Articles 116 and 120 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as it deprives them of the possibility of their application in the case of a single act, proposes a new version of Articles 116, 117 and 120 of the Criminal Code. while the latter contains a definition of «suicidal tendencies». The author proposes to exclude Art. 126-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as it is incorrectly drafted, contains ambiguous terms and duplicates existing criminal law. A new version of the disposition of Part 1 of Art. 152 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is proposed and indicated the need to take into account the voluntary consent of a person under 14 years of age in the classification of crimes against sexual freedom and sexual integrity of a person. Key words: crime, responsibility, qualification, term.

Purpose. The purpose of the work is to determine certain aspects of criminal law regulation of a journalist's professional activity. Indicate the elements of such regulation. Draw a distinction between the protection of the professional activity of a journalist and his personality, as a representative of society, performing a special role. Analyze certain features of the protection of the professional activity of a journalist in countries that have a part of a common history with Ukraine. The methodology. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of the available scientific and theoretical material and the formulation of appropriate conclusions and recommendations. In the course of the research, the following methods of scientific knowledge were used: terminological, logical-semantic, system-structural, logical-normative, comparative-legal. Results in the course of the conducted research it was determined that the professional activity of a journalist has sufficient protection by criminal legislation. As for the protection of the journalist himself, it can be considered excessive, which is also indicated by a superficial analysis of the criminal legislation of certain foreign countries. On the basis of a comparative study, it was determined that the draft Criminal Code of Ukraine eliminates certain problems of excessive criminal legal protection of the journalist’s personality. Scientific novelty. In the course of the research, it was established that the elements of protection of the professional activity of a journalist and his personality can be divided into three conditional groups: 1) protection of professional activity, 2) protection of the personality of a journalist and his rights, 3) some immunities of professional activity, that is, non-recognition of certain actions as a criminal offense journalist. As for the criminal offenses, to the commission of which the journalist may be involved, the conditional division can be - offenses related to professional activities and offenses not related to such. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in law-making activities to improve the norms of the current legislation providing for the protection of the professional activity of a journalist, as well as for further scientific research on the issues of protecting a journalist and his professional activity in Ukraine.

Economic Crimes

Introduction: modern criminal legislation in terms of ensuring the criminal-legal protection of financial relations needs substantial processing. This is due to the unsatisfactory quality of the differentiation of criminal responsibility carried out for committing socially dangerous encroachments on financial relations. This circumstance is an artificial obstacle to the application of the criminal law with a view to preventing economic (financial) crime. Methods: dialectical, comparative legal, logical, system analysis and forecasting method. Analysis: the state of the differentiation of the responsibility, defined by the legislator for the commission of financial crimes, can be considered unsatisfactory for a number of reasons. Firstly, the established responsibility for certain financial crimes does not reflect the significant public danger that is inherently inherent in financial crimes. Secondly, criminalization of separate, previously unknown to the Russian criminal law, acts committed in the financial sector, has complicated enforcement activities of law enforcement and judicial authorities since the emergence undue competition with other norms of responsibility for crimes in the sphere of economic activity. Thirdly, the extension provided for by the criminal law of the possibility of release perpetrators financial and other economic crimes, negative impact on the prevention of economic crime. Results: the study made a number of proposals to waive inclusion in the domestic criminal law of duplicate rules on liability for financial crimes, to reduce the possibility of release from liability for committing financial crimes, as well as the technique of forming the rules of sanctions on the responsibility for committing both financial and economic crimes in general.
