SPECIFICITY OF QUALIFICATION OF CRIMES COMMITTED WITH THE USE OF THE INTERNET IN RELATION TO MINORS
The article analyzes the data of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, from which it follows that over the past three years, cases of suicidal behavior of minors have increased dramatically. At the same time, the problem of leading minors to suicide by involving them in so-called death groups has recently become particularly acute. The article analyzes the criminal law characteristics of the changes in the Criminal code of the Russian Federation concerning the establishment of special mechanisms to counteract the activities aimed at encouraging children to suicidal behavior. The explanatory note to the relevant law is considered, in which it is noted that "new types of inducement to commit suicide or to facilitate the Commission of suicide were not previously predicted by science, were not timely evaluated by criminologists and in fact took a wide scale, being outside the criminal law assessment, and therefore outside the activities of law enforcement agencies to identify the organizers of such destructive activities, timely suppression of their actions, as well as protection of victims". After analyzing the sanctions, according to the newly introduced articles of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation, the authors conclude that the Russian legislator does not demonstrate a common approach to the criminal and legal assessment of criminal violence against minors, treating violent crimes against minors to various categories of crimes. It is intended to discuss the question of the uniform categorization of all crimes against minors as grave and especially grave. This is due to the fact that a person under the age of 18, regardless of the type of violence, can already be regarded as helpless because of his age, so any crime against him / her should be considered violent, and depending on the circumstances and type of violence - particularly grave.
