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.

The work is devoted to the non-statutory justification of action in the scope of the right to defence, whose purpose was the exclusion of criminal responsibility for giving false testimony by a witness – the actual perpetrator – in his or her case. It was emphasised that the defence which heretofore resulted from Art. 182 and 183 kk was insufficient for the witness. One discussed inter alia the legal basis of the justification, its constituent elements, one indicated the  controversies which were caused by the concept of justification, and which to a great extent were associated with the violation, by the Supreme Court, of the constitutional principle of the tripartite division of powers and with the substantive and temporal limits of the right to defence which result both from the norms of international and domestic law. One indicated the position of the representatives of the doctrine as to the concept of justification. Scholarship on the subject, even though it did not take a uniform stand in reference to the problem in question, basically discerned the necessity of the improvement of the situation of the witness – the actual perpetrator, who, testifying in his or her own case, would run the risk of self-incrimination. The considerations of the doctrine resulted in numerous alternative propositions de lege ferenda. In the work, one suggests to seek such a solution in the substantive approach to the nemo se ipsum accusare tenetur rule. Then it was emphasised that the problem of justification once again became the subject of discussion owing to the amendment issued on 11 March 2016 about the modification of the act of law – The Code of Criminal Procedure and certain other acts of law Art. 233 §1a kk. At that time one penalised the behaviour of a witness, who in fear of criminal liability to be faced by the witness or his relatives gives false testimony or conceals the truth. For the sake of recapitulation, one indicated that the amendment which was described above rendered the justification in question invalid, and the perpetrator who is heard in a court of law as a witness continues de lege lata to be entitled to use the right to refuse to answer the question from Art. 183 §1 kpk. One emphasised that the doctrine recurrently discerned the shortcomings of defence which result from Art. 183 §1 kpk. Above all the institution from Art. 183 §1 kpk was not intended for a witness – the actual perpetrator. Therefore, in the article, in order to realise the warranty nature of the entitlement in question one suggests that this admonishment should be rendered obligatory, so that every witness would be aware that the right exists and that he or she may exercise it.

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.

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.

Notary in making an authentic deed must be able to account for the deed if it turns out that in the future problems arise from the authentic deed both in terms of criminal law, civil law or State administration. The problems arising from the deed made by the Notary need to be questioned whether it is the result of an error from the Notary or the error of the viewer who does not provide information in accordance with the actual reality to the Notary. Such negligence or error can occur because the Notary in question is lacking or does not understand the construction or legal actions desired by the viewer so that the deed made is contrary to the provisions of the law. Such negligence or error can also be deliberately carried out by the concerned Notary. This study focuses on Law Number 30 Year 2004 as amended by Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning Notary Position wherein this study discusses the Notary who is unable to carry out his position so he has the right to submit written leave request and at the same time accompanied by the appointment of a substitute notary. After a while, a lawsuit from a party that feels aggrieved results from the deed made by Si X as a Substitute Notary. The results of this study concluded that a notary who leaves as a substituted notary has responsibility for the deed made by his successor notary even though he is on leave from his position where the responsibility is in the form of civil liability, if the substitute notary commits an error within the scope of authority given by a notary to a substitute notary. So in that case the notary is also liable for losses suffered by the parties due to the deed made by the substitute notary. Because the notary who is replaced is the owner of the office, if the notary of origin will file leave then he will appoint an employee from his own office as a substitute notary. Criminal responsibility, in the case of a criminal offense, a notary who is replaced is not responsible, for example in the case of tax evasion. Criminal liability can only be imposed on a substitute notary if he makes a mistake outside his authority as a substitute notary. Then the notary whose leave cannot be held accountable. The substitute notary is also entitled to get the same protection and legal guarantees because every citizen has the same rights before the law.

The paper analyzes special norms and provisions of the RF Criminal Code reflecting the specifics of criminal law impact towards such a particular subject as military personnel. The author studies the nature, meaning, and varieties of special criminal law norms. The paper highlights the diversity of such norms and their presence in General and Special parts of the criminal law. In this respect, the author explains that these norms have a dual purpose: they are applied both instead of general norms and along with them, supplementing and specifying them. The author emphasizes the certainty, necessity, and reasonability of special norms and provisions in criminal law. The study pays special attention to military criminal legislation as a special criminal legal institution and a set of special rules and provisions that allows differentiating and individualizing criminal responsibility and criminal punishment of servicemen, taking into account the specifics of their legal status and the tasks they perform in the conditions of military service. The author considers special norms and provisions of the General Part of the RF Criminal Code regulating particular military types of criminal punishment and the procedure for their imposition (Articles 44, 48, 51, 54, 55), as well as the norms and provisions of the Special Part of the RF Criminal Code on crimes against military service (Articles 331–352). Besides, the study identifies close interrelation and interdependence of special norms and provisions of the criminal law with the criminal procedure and criminal executive legislation because they are the elements of a single mechanism of criminal law impact on military personnel, and only their combination ensures the effectiveness of such impact. Based on the analysis, the author formulates the conclusions and proposals to introduce amendments and additions to the RF Criminal Code concerning military criminal legislation. First of all, the author proposes highlighting the section “Criminal liability of military personnel” and the chapter “Features of criminal liability and punishment of military personnel” in the General part of the RF Criminal Code and abandoning the provision of part 3 of Art. 331 in the Special part.

War crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and the crime of aggression could not be perpetrated without those who finance them. This article examines the basis for criminal liability in international criminal law (ICL) for persons who finance entities that perpetrate core crimes. Despite the need for clear rules, neither international courts nor scholars agree upon (i) whether liability exists for individuals who finance entities that perpetrate core crimes; and (ii) if so, the circumstances under which such liability exists. This article argues that an individual who finances an entity that perpetrates a core crime should be held criminally liable under customary international criminal law as an aider and abettor. The objective of this article is to clarify the rules that would enable international courts and tribunals to identify the extent to which individual criminal liability attaches to the financing of core crimes, as well as the legal basis for such liability. By clarifying the criminal accountability of individuals who finance entities that perpetrate core crimes, this article also seeks to clarify the mental elements of the mode of liability of aiding and abetting.

The subject of the paper is guilt as criminal legal category.The main aim of the paper is to confirm or disprove the hypothesis that there is a need for risk management in order to prevent crime.The description of methodology. The author uses economic approach and the theory of rational choice as well as the dialectic and formal-legal methodology.The main results and scope of their application. The greater the probability of socially dangerous consequences of actions, the greater the risk, the greater the degree of guilt of the subject and the degree of danger of the crime. In criminalization the risks should be optimally distributed between the state (installs criminal prohibitions) and the citizens (complying with those prohibitions), as well as between the potential offender and the victim. It is necessary to quantify the risk of socially dangerous consequences (for example, as a percentage) for each form of guilt. This will make it possible to streamline and develop forms of guilt, to correlate specific types of guilt with specific crimes in terms of the risks that the crime carries. New forms of guilt, in particular criminal ignorance, need to be introduced. Unlike negligence, which is difficult to control, ignorance, as well as competence, can be fully controlled. It is necessary to take into account the guilt of the victim, who by his behavior contributed to the crime. If the victim has not taken all precautions ( the more provoked the offender) - he must share the overall result, bear the risk of socially dangerous consequences. If there is a violation of the rules of conduct by the offender and the victim, the court should have the right to substantially mitigate the punishment or to refuse to apply it at all, taking into account the nature and extent of the violations committed by each party. For example, with regard to crimes of minor gravity when the victim provoking a crime, failure to take precautions should provide for mandatory exemption from criminal liability with compensation for harm in civil law. Premeditated intent seriously complicates the disclosure of crimes. This intent should be seen as a basis for more severe sanctions. The results of research may be used as the basis of correction of the criminal legislation.It is concluded that any form of guilt in any legal system is based on an assessment of the risks of negative consequences.

The scientific article analyzes the acute discussion in law enforcement practice and procedural science of the problem of the possibility of criminal prosecution of a suspect, accused of defaming a knowingly innocent person in the commission of a crime. The theoretical basis of the article are scientific works on criminal law and criminal procedural law (both domestic researchers and foreign experts). A set of general scientific, special scientific and philosophical methods of scientific knowledge has been used while preparing the scientific article, in particular dialectical, historical, comparative, dogmatic (formal-logical), system-structural analysis, modeling. It is substantiated in the article that the behavior of the suspect, accused, which is manifested in slandering of a knowingly innocent person, does not constitute the right to freedom from self-disclosure. It is also proved that both freedom from self-disclosure and the right to defense in criminal proceedings must have certain limits, in particular, it is rights and interests of other subjects protected by criminal law. We stated that the suspect or accused should be liable for misleading the court and pre-trial investigation bodies even if such deception was used to protect against the suspicion (or accusation), to avoid criminal liability.

Corporate Wrongdoing

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 Subject

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.
