The aim of this research is to know how the regulation of marital rape in Indonesian Criminal Law and Islamic Law. Marital rape or also known as rape in marriage still belong to such a debatable and taboo topic, but in fact it has happened a lot in society. In Indonesian Criminal Law, marital rape is not regulated in the Criminal Code. The Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence regulates this as a complaint offense by calling the crime of sexual violence. In Islamic Law, marital rape is regulated in a good way by terms of husband and wife intercourse, among others in Surah An-Nisa Verse 19 which prohibits having to do with coercion. Refers to these results of the comparison, similarities are found in both Indonesian Criminal Law and Islamic Criminal Law that said marital rape is prohibited. The differences lie in the form of complaint offense between these laws. Islamic Criminal Law does not explain clearly about the complaints offense as known on Indonesian Criminal Law. Yet this law comprehensibly prohibiting the marital rape itself. For the further regulations of criminal law policies, it should take the principles of discrimination into account and the good boundaries regarding marital rapes, criminal liability, criminal threats and formal criminal arrangements either.

The grounds and conditions for the application of restrictive measures applied to persons, who have committed domestic violence, are provided in Art. 911 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is established that in the science of criminal law there is a unanimous position that the basis for the application of restrictive measures under Art. 911 of the Criminal Code is the commission by a person of a crime related to domestic violence, and the conditions are: 1) sentencing a person not related to imprisonment; 2) release of a person from criminal liability on the grounds provided by the Criminal Code; 3) release of a person from punishment on the grounds provided by the Criminal Code. These conditions are alternative. The content of the concept of «crime related to domestic violence» is analyzed and it is established that it should be understood more broadly than the act provided for in Art. 1261 of the Criminal Code «Domestic Violence». It is proposed to add to Art. 911 of the Criminal Code a note explaining the meaning of the term «criminal offense related to domestic violence», where it is necessary to note that this concept is broader than the crime under Art. 1261 of the Criminal Code. The content of each of the conditions of application of restrictive measures is analyzed. It has been established that in the application of restrictive measures during the imposition of non-custodial sentences in practice there are problems with the interpretation of the relevant concept. It is proposed to clarify the meaning of the concept of «punishment not related to imprisonment» in Art. 911 of the Criminal Code. It is also established that the application of restrictive measures in releasing a person from criminal liability is a declarative norm and is subject to exclusion from the conditions of application of restrictive measures due to the incompatibility of the latter with the nature of exemption from criminal liability. The legislation clearly regulates the procedure for applying restrictive measures to persons released from serving a probation sentence. A number of problems that arise during the control over the behaviour of persons to whom restrictive measures have been applied by the probation authorities have also been identified. The solution to these problems is possible by harmonizing the provisions of the Criminal Code and the Law of Ukraine «On Probation», as well as other regulations governing the activities of probation bodies. It is proposed to refer the application of restrictive measures to supervisory probation, which will lead to a number of changes to the articles of the Law of Ukraine «On Probation» in terms of regulation of supervisory probation, to refer to probation subjects persons subject to restrictive measures, and to exclude the fact that it is assigned to a person released from serving a probation sentence, and in the regulations governing the development and implementation of probation programs to provide for their application to persons to whom restrictive measures have been applied. It is concluded that the probation body should be endowed with a coordinating function to implement all restrictive measures and it is necessary at the level of bylaws to establish a clear procedure for interaction of the probation body with the National Police, local state administrations and local governments to control the behaviour of individuals, which the appropriate restrictive measure is applied.

There is the search for optimal ways to improve domestic legislation in terms of criminal liability for sexual abuse of children by analyzing the latest changes and additions to the Criminal Code of some European countries. One such way is to criminalize such an act as "cybergrooming". The analysis of the relevant criminal law of the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Bulgaria and the Kingdom of Spain has allowed to conclude that the approach of the legislator of the Republic of Bulgaria to the regulation of criminal liability for "cybergrooming" seems to be worth worth studying its practical application in order to determine the possibility of future borrowing by the domestic legislator. In addition, on the positive side, the Criminal Code of this state has criminal liability for lewd acts or sexual intercourse with a minor engaged in prostitution. The Criminal Code of the Kingdom of Spain deserves attention to the existence of a single rule (Article 183), which includes various manifestations of sexual violence against children. The author has noted that such an approach of the legislator of this state also requires a separate, more in-depth analysis for its possible borrowing by the domestic legislator. In addition, it is worth studying the issue of separate criminalization in the Criminal Code of Ukraine as sexual violence, sexual intercourse with persons aged sixteen to eighteen, committed with the use of influence on the victim in such ways as: fraud or abuse of trust, abuse of official position by an official.

There is the search for optimal ways to improve domestic legislation in terms of criminal liability for domestic violence against children. It has been established that all persons who are victims of domestic violence are under the same criminal legal protection, as the responsibility for domestic violence against them is provided in a single criminal law with a single punishment. There are cases in court practice where a person guilty of domestic violence against an adult family member has received a more severe punishment than domestic violence against a child. However, a situation where a domestic abuser of a child receives a milder punishment than an adult abuser is not fully in line with the principle of the fairness of criminal law. The author has stated that the social danger of domestic violence against children, especially minors, is much higher than violence against adults, as it has a negative impact on the formation of personality, in particular, generates new generations of domestic abusers. As an adult, a child who is abused at home is more likely to be prone to such violence or to commit any other crime related to violence. The author has concluded that it is expedient to consider the issue of establishing increased criminal liability for domestic violence against minors, compared to adults. For this purpose, it is possible to ammend Article 126-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine with a qualified type of domestic violence – domestic vio-lence committed against a minor child.

The article deals with the issue of considering the fact that a person has a criminal record on criminal offence connected with domestic violence as a part of the ‘systematic nature’ characteristic. It is stated that the ‘domestic violence’ is used in the expression of criminal offences connected to domestic violence not within the scope of Article 1261 of Criminal Code of Ukraine but the framework of Law of Ukraine ‘On prevention and combat against domestic violence’, thus the ‘systematic nature’ characteristic does not cover criminal offences connected to domestic violence. It is pointed out that criminal liability for a criminal offence connected to domestic violence has criminal- law consequences and thus shall be considered when assessing the ‘systematic nature’ as a characteristic of domestic violence under Art. 1261 of CC of Ukraine. The following rules of qualification of criminal offences connected to domestic violence are formulated: 1) if a person has a criminal record for a criminal offence connected to domestic violence then such offence shall be considered when assessing the ‘systematic nature’ as a characteristic of domestic violence under Art. 1261 of CC of Ukraine provided that the offence has not lost it criminal law consequences; 2) if a person a person has been prosecuted twice or more times for an administrative offence under Art. 1732 of Code of Administrative Offences of Ukraine and has committed a criminal offence connected to domestic violence then such offence shall be taken into account when assessing the ‘systematic nature’ as a characteristic of domestic violence under Art. 1261 of CC of Ukraine and in cases when sanction for such offence is greater than the sanction provided for in Art. 1261 of CC of Ukraine, such actions shall be qualified as cumulative criminal offence. It is concluded that there could be a number of such combinations but the key conclusion is that it is necessary to account for criminal record for a criminal offence connected to domestic violence provided that such offence has not lost its criminal-law consequences when assessing the ‘systematic nature’ as a characteristic of domestic violence under Art. 1261 of CC of Ukraine.

Problem setting. According to Art. 27 of the Constitution of Ukraine, everyone has an inalienable right to life, no one can be arbitrarily deprived of life, and the state, in turn, is obliged to protect human life. Protection of a person’s life, as a duty of the state, is manifested in the establishment of criminal liability, enshrined in Section II “Criminal offenses against life and health of a person” of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, who commit socially dangerous acts. whether there are criminal offenses and what punishments they should be committed. The distinction between crimes such as premeditated murder and negligent deprivation of another’s life is important, as criminal law theory still does not have sufficient information on this issue and does not have a complete list of features of the above crimes, but we tried to identify them in our article. Target of research. Deepening their knowledge on the caution of a person’s life due to inconsistency and drawing the line between possible offenses and conditional authority, clarifying the special characteristics of the perpetrator and the victim, outlining the essential features of the perpetrator and the victim, and researching the regulation of negligent proposal of a new version of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Analysis of resent researches and publications. The theoretical basis for the study of the problem of murder through negligence are the works of legal scholars, in particular, M. Bazhanov, V. Borisov, S. Borodin, V. Glushkov, O. Gorokhovskaya, I. Zinchenko , V. Tyutyugin, O. Us, E. Kisilyuk, V. Kuts, M. Yefimov, S. Likhova, V. Stashis, V. Shablisty and others. Article’s main body. According to Art. 3 of the Constitution of Ukraine, man, his life and health, honor and dignity, inviolability and security are recognized in Ukraine as the highest social value. Given this constitutional provision, the legislator should pay special attention to the criminal law protection of human life and health as the most important public relations. So it is no coincidence that considering such encroachments as one of the most dangerous in the criminal law dimension, the legislator established criminal liability for their commission in Section II “Criminal offenses against life and health” of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Due to the high public danger and the high prevalence of criminal offenses against human life and health, criminal law theory and law enforcement practice are under increasing scrutiny. Thus, the analysis of judicial practice in recent years shows that, for example, among all murders (Articles 117-119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) the number of persons convicted of deprivation of life due to negligence is about 15 percent annually. In our opinion, it is also advisable to analyze the concept of “murder” by comparing the common and distinctive features of the offenses referred to in Art. Art. 115 and 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. According to scientific results, we can conclude that these offenses have many common features. It is possible to understand the common features and preconditions for the spread of these types of offenses. Conclusions and prospects for the development. A study of issues related to the criminal law analysis of murder through negligence and its difference from other types of murder, shows that these acts encroach on the identical object, which is “human life as a set of social relations.” Unfortunately, nowadays the dynamics of offenses committed in Art. Art. 115 and 119 is intensifying, so consideration of their delimitation and characterization of their features is very important. The study examines the main features of these types of crimes, as well as analyzes some provisions of national law and proposes some adjustments to them.

The systematic nature of criminal law forms the main features of the industry, namely: normativity, universalism, that is, the absence of casuistry and obligation. The strict consistency of both the entire industry and its individual institutions allows avoiding the redundancy of criminal law regulation, clearly determining the legal status of a person in conflict with the law. However, the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation do not always meet these requirements due to defects in legal technology, and, sometimes, gaps in regulation. In practice, the courts, in an effort to minimize the above defects, sometimes resort to excessive criminal law regulation; as an example, the article gives the ratio of the application of suspended sentence and placement in a special educational institution of a closed type. The article analyzes sentences to minors in which Art. 73 and Part 2 of Art. 92 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation were simultaneously applied in one sentence for the same act. For a comprehensive study, the article analyzed sentences to minors held in special educational institutions of a closed type for the period from 2014 to 2020, criminal statistics posted on the website of the Judicial Department of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, as well as various points of view of leading legal scholars. The research methods of static observation, analysis and synthesis, the system-structural method, as well as a number of factographic methods, were used. The study develops from the general to the specific, i.e., first, systematicity is analyzed as a property of the branch of criminal law and then as a property of a legal institution, namely, the release of minors from criminal liability. Consistency as a property of the institution of exemption from criminal punishment presupposes the impossibility of intersecting elements within one institution. Special attention is paid to the legal nature of suspended sentence as the most common punishment measure for minors, and its effectiveness. Then the cases of the simultaneous application of Art. 73 and Part 2 of Art. 92 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are analyzed. In the course of the study, the author examines the features of suspended sentence and placement in a special educational and educational institution of a closed type, compares these two forms of criminal liability, and highlights the differences. The conclusion is that the simultaneous placement in a special educational institution of a closed type and suspended sentence are a redundancy of criminal law regulation. The article raises the question of the need to improve the Criminal Code in terms of the development of placement in a special educational and educational institution of a closed type as a type of exemption from criminal punishment: the court is to be provided with the opportunity to control the juvenile offender’s correctional process.
