scholarly journals Chain of Causation: Omission Committed by the Obligor

Author(s):  
Vladislav Radov

The article deals with theoretical and law-enforcement problems of establishing the chain of causation in crimes of omission committed by the obligor. The doctrine of criminal law developed an unambiguous philosophical understanding of causality within the framework of dialectical materialism. However, such scientists as Prof. V. B. Malinin and Prof. Z. B. Soktoev came to polar conclusions about the absence and presence of a causal relationship in cases of criminal omission. The author criticizes the so-called golden rule of causality in cases of omission and the comprehensive reason for omission. He believes that omission cannot be recognized as a condition of an antisocial result. The author uses the relativistic approach to causality to explain the relationship between the failure to fulfill one's professional or official duties and the resulting antisocial consequence. He proves the conditioning relationship in such situations and states the correlation of causation and condition, as well as the limits of understanding causality as an element of the objective aspect of a crime. Apparently, doctrinal controversies affect the law enforcement. The article introduces the latest judicial practice and positions of the courts on the legal content and legal consequences of establishing an indirect, indirect, and mediated causation chain. The category of causality cannot be used for the purposes of criminal law qualification due to the fact that law and natural science have a different understanding of causation. The research questions the significance of forensic medical examinations in cases of iatrogenic crimes in relation to the causal relationship and their assessment by the court. In this article, the issues of causality are considered only for such cases of omission that presuppose a failure to fulfill professional or official duties in a negligent crime. Therefore, the author does not claim to be exclusive of conclusions and proposals. As Academician V. N. Kudryavtsev said, the configuration of chain of causation depends on the corpus delicti or the type of crime.

The article is devoted to legislative and law enforcement problems of sentencing minors as special subjects of criminal law relations. In this aspect, to a certain extent, the essential socio-psychological characteristics of the considered category of convicts are analyzed in detail, related to their position dependent on society and incomplete formation of intellectual and volitional qualities. These circumstances assume that they are taken into account while observing the principles of justice and humanism, which make it possible to ensure the proportionality of the measure of criminal law enforcement, the nature and degree of public danger of the crime, the identity of the perpetrator, as well as security from criminal infection and secondary victimization. Special consideration should be given to the characteristics of the perpetrator’s personality, as well as the significance of the sentence imposed for age-related socialization and crime prevention. It is concluded that the orientation of the law enforcement officer to impose punishment that is not associated with isolation from society should be supported by other criminal law institutions that are specially modified for this category of persons.

Problem Statement. The qualification of complicity in a crime is many times complicated by the solution of complex problems associated with the differentiation of the actions of the perpetrator and the accomplice in the crime. Judicial practice demonstrates in this part examples of «overstated» and «understated» qualifications, which naturally reflects not only the objective difficulties of law enforcement, but also the absence of an agreed doctrinal position on the relationship between the actions of the executor and the accomplice. Aims and Objectives of the Research. The article is devoted to finding an answer to the question of the most effective theoretical approaches to the distinction between execution and complicity in a crime, as well as general criteria for such a distinction. Methods. The method of formal-logical interpretation of the criminal law was used in the work; comparative legal analysis; documentary analysis and generalization of judicial practice; content analysis of scientific sources on the research topic. Results, Brief Conclusions. The scientifically established approach, according to which the distinction between performing and abetting actions is investigated primarily as a problem of the general theory of complicity, is based on the use of the construction of the general composition of complicity in a crime and the general composition of certain types of complicity. However, the construction of the general composition is not methodologically intended to solve the qualifying problem of differentiating the actions of accomplices. Therefore, the relevant issue should become the subject of analysis of the Special Part of Criminal Law and be resolved differentially in relation to each separate corpus delicti. The General part of criminal law can offer only the most general approach to the delimitation of execution from complicity, according to which the actions of an accomplice are always located outside the objective side of the execution of the crime.

The article deals with the problems of law enforcement in the group of malfeasances. Official crimes are most dangerous due to the fact that they undermine the prestige of the authorities and directly violate the rights and legitimate interests of citizens and organizations. In this regard the legislator has established criminal liability for officials who abuse their functional duties. In particular the author studies the problems of qualification arising in the legal assessment of crimes enshrined in Ch. 30 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, due to the highest level of their blanketness and evaluativeness. Examples of judicial and investigative practice on competition issues of general and special rules are given. Difficulties are revealed in the legal assessment of the actions of officials when determining the signs of abuse of office, enshrined in Art. 286 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Arguments are presented that are a clear demonstration of the fact that the solution to the identified problems of applying the norms of the criminal law lies in the plane of reducing the level of conflict of laws of criminal legislation. Practical proposals are being made to include amendments to the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated 09.07.2013 No. 24 “On judicial practice in cases of bribery and other corruption crimes” (clause 12.1) and Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated 16.10.2009 No. 19 “On judicial practice in cases of abuse of office and abuse of office” (p. 21.1).

The history of criminal law has claimed an increasing share of the attention of legal and social historians in recent years. Undeterred by Professor Milsom's verdict that in the area of English criminal law, ‘nothing worthwhile was created,’ historians have plunged into the study of doctrine and practice in the common law courts. The attractions of the source material are undoubtedly great. The law is relatively straightforward, at least compared to land litigation. The cases are interesting and sometimes sensational. The subject matter promises rewards in understanding the relationship between social change and legal development. And the study may even be immediately relevant, shedding light on current law enforcement problems.

The diversity of the interpretation of the cause-and-effect relationship by various subjects of law enforcement activity leads to the birth of an absolutely newthing in itself a new process. Then the causal relationship, being a derived category, acquires a new meaning and a new essence, which leads to its modification, contradictions in judicial practice and conflicts between decision-making subjects.
