The article deals with the analysis of scientific views, theoretical provisions and legislation, examines the objective side of the misuse of budget funds, for budget expenditures or provision of credits from the budget without determined budget purposes or with its excess. It is proposed to leave part 1 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, a socially dangerous act in the form of misuse of the relevant funds as the most common in law enforcement, as well as expanding other forms, replacing them with a socially dangerous action in the form of another expenditures of the relevant budgets or funds. Since inter-budgetary transfers are de jure not included in budget expenditures, it is proposed to add to the name and disposition of Part 1 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, an indication of a socially dangerous act in the form of their implementation. As a result of the study, the authors come to the conclusion about the further actualization of the problematic of the objective side of the criminal offense provided for in Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is supported the proposal to cover the analyzed criminal law prohibition and other budget violations close in public danger to those directly named in Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine to budget violations. It is proposed to determine the objective side of Part 1 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine in the form of a socially dangerous act in the form of an action: misuse of funds, other expenditures of state or local budgets, or state or local extra-budgetary funds, or the implementation of an inter-budgetary transfer committed contrary to the law or a decision on the local budget. Considering that the analysis of the forms of committing a criminal offense under Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, testifies that it can be committed only in the form of active behavior of the subject of a criminal offense, it is proposed in Part 2 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine to replace the instruction from an act with an action.

Purpose. Critical analysis of the criminal law provision on illegal mining of amber, identification of its shortcomings, development of proposals for their elimination. Methodology. The system of philosophical, general scientific and specific scientific methods and approaches, which have provided objective analysis of the subject under consideration, in particular, the method of systemic and structural analysis, specific sociological, statistical, comparative, formal-logical methods. Findings. Shortcomings of the criminal law provision on illegal mining, sale, acquisition, storage, transfer, shipment, transportation and processing of amber, in particular, unjustified expansion of the criminal law prohibition under consideration, unsuccessful design of the main and qualified components of the criminal offense under review, as well as unjustified sanctions. Originality. The authors have been among the first researchers in the domestic criminal law doctrine to provide a comprehensive critical understanding of the provision dedicated to the regulation of criminal liability for illegal amber mining, which has made it possible to develop scientifically based recommendations for improving domestic criminal law. Practical value. Based on the research results, specific proposals addressed to domestic parliamentarians have been developed, which can be taken into account in the process of further lawmaking in terms of updating relevant provisions of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is argued that the improved Art. 240-1 should only cover illegal mining of amber. The main structure of the researched criminal offense is proposed to be designed as material. It has been proven, including through references to specific law enforcement materials, that sanctions of Part1 of Art. 240-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine should provide for a fine as the only non-alternative main type of punishment, while referenced to alternative punishments in the form of a fine and imprisonment should be included in Parts 2 and 3.

The relevance of the article is that, as is well known, the “vertical” and “horizontal” classifications of objects of crime are generally accepted and accepted in the science of criminal law. “Vertically” the most common is the four-level classification, according to which there are general, generic, species and direct objects. The article analyzes the object of the criminal offense under Art. 211 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, “Issuance of regulations that reduce budget revenues or increase budget expenditures contrary to law”. The article considers the issue of determining the generic, specific and direct composition of a criminal offense. It was found that the budget funds should be understood as: tax revenues received in the relevant budgets; other mandatory payments received in the relevant budgets; income from the use of state-owned property after payment of taxes (fees) provided by law; revenues from paid services provided by budgetary institutions after payment of taxes (fees) provided by law; funds received as a result of the application of measures of civil, administrative and criminal liability, including fines, confiscation, compensation, etc.; part of the profit of unitary state and municipal enterprises; income from foreign economic activity. It is determined that the subject of the crime under Art. 211 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, there can be only normative legal acts. The funds (or rather the consequences in the form of a certain type of damage), actually received and only planned as revenues and expenditures of the state or local budget, must be in the status of the consequence of this act. Such a crime is committed, for example, in cases where an official issues regulations that change only the revenues and expenditures of the budget recorded in the relevant legal act. When an official issues a normative legal act that provides for the illegal write-off of taxpayers’ arrears of taxes, fees and other mandatory payments, the budget does not receive the funds that should have been received. The term “funds” in the current legislation means money in national or foreign currency or their equivalent. That is, the equivalent of money can be called budget funds, if they equally replace the money included in the budget.

Problematic issues related to the need to ensure the correct application of criminal law in the aspect of changing the terminology of the scope of the offence are investigated. In qualification, identifying the scope of the offence is the first step in this process because, in practice, when a crime is detected, the law enforcement agency faced by the features of its scope. At the same time, a number of dispositions of the norms of the Special part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine envisages acting solely in one of its forms "commissions" and "omissions", which are quite evaluative in their separation. The content of these terms, although generally simplified, identical in the educational literature, is not interpreted equally by scientists in scientific works, and sometimes is uncertain. A separation of  commissions and omissions, both active and passive forms of action is possible if elementary in external manifestation of active or passive action is committed. These include the fact of a specifically conscious and desirable movement of one's body or a conscious and desirable refusal to commit such actions. The authors emphasize that the problems of separation of  commissions and omissions, as an active and passive form of high-handed, conscious, unlawful and socially dangerous behavior of the subject of the crime, were recognized by scientists in the "Soviet times". On basis of conducted analysis and with reference to the work of leading scientists, the authors propose the expediency of refusal in the domestic criminal law of the terms "commissions" and "omissions", with the simultaneous introduction to the theory of criminal law and the Criminal Code of Ukraine a term devoid of internal contradictions (act, commissions etc.), caused by the application in the dispositions of the Particular part of the law on criminal liability of the specific division of the external manifestation of the behavior of the subject of the crime.

The article highlights the Ukrainian experience of criminalization of drunk driving as a result of amendments to criminal and administrative legislation in 2018–2021. The importance of systematization and validity in making changes to administrative and criminal law is noted. Attention is drawn to the need for careful observance of the rules of legal technique in legislative activity, given that the use of administrative and criminal law is associated with the most significant restrictions on human rights and freedoms. It is noted that there are violations of the rules of legal technique, allowed in the relevant laws in terms of the provisions on criminalization and decriminalization of drunk driving: violations of the homogeneity of legal regulation (Law № 720-IX regulated an issue that was not the subject of its regulation); internal consistency (Law № 720-IX on amendments “in connection with the adoption of Law № 2617-VIII” amended the Law itself № 2617-VIII); external consistency (provisions of Law № 720-IX contradict the provisions of Article 2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and Article 3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine); linguistic (in paragraph 117 of the Law № 720-IX there is a morphological error); procedural (violated the requirements of Articles 90, 92 of the Regulations). Attention is drawn to the content of the conclusions and the legal significance of the explanations of the Parliamentary Committee on Law Enforcement, adopted on the criminalization of drunk driving. It is noted that the relevant committee violated the regulatory procedures and provisions of the legislation on parliamentary committees. The consequences of the relevant technical and legal violations (legislative uncertainty) are highlighted and ways to eliminate these problems are suggested.

Studying of issues regarding criminal infractions – whether intended or imprudent – plays quite a significant role. Fundamental changes taking part in world economy and politics, globalization processes, as well as internal dynamics of country development, undoubtedly, have impact on national legal framework, including criminal law. Therefore, the main goal of the present paper is the analysis of legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan regarding criminal infractions and the law enforcement practice. To reach this goal authors have used methods of comparison, analysis and data systematization. As a result it has been found that in Kazakhstan there are at average 4,3 registered criminal infractions per a convict. The term of criminal infraction has appeared in the Criminal Code in 2014 to cover offences of small gravity and administrative violations that cannot be referred to the sphere of state administration. Authors have revealed the punishment in the present day Kazakhstan is not a main form of criminal responsibility realization. In the majority of cases linked to criminal infractions the persons committed them are relieved from criminal responsibility at the stage of prejudicial inquiry.

A criminal and legal analysis of the objective and subjective signs, characterizing the connivance to the crime is made in the publication. The study found that connivance in a crime may be characteristic of various criminal law institutions, such as implication in a crime and complicity in a crime. In addition, the presented arguments show that connivance as a criminally punishable act may be associated with non-interference with unlawful activities that do not constitute a crime. The analysis shows that connivance in a crime can have a selfish purpose. It is noted that connivance in a crime is significantly different from other forms of implication in a crime, namely concealment of a crime and failure to report a crime. The subject of connivance in a crime is a person endowed with special powers to prevent, document and register crimes or offences. The article discloses that there is no special penal provision in the current Act of Criminal Responsibility of the Russian Federation that criminalizes it. The exception is the disposition of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of RF, which contains an indication of connivance as a sign characterizing the objective side of receiving a bribe.

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.

In the article, the author conducted a study of recurrence and recurrence as forms of multiplicity of premeditated murder under aggravating circumstances. The relevance of this work is that this issue has not been the subject of a separate study among modern scholars of criminal law. In the work the author found that the recurrence of premeditated murder under aggravating circumstances, it is necessary to distinguish from a criminal offense under paragraph 13 of Part 2 of Article. 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (premeditated murder committed by a person who previously committed premeditated murder, except for murder under Articles 116-118 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), which is considered a qualifying (aggravating sign) premeditated murder. After all, in the case of premeditated murder by a person who has previously committed premeditated murder, with the exception of murder provided for in Articles 116-118 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, a single crime is necessarily meant. The author also emphasizes that the recurrence of premeditated murder under aggravating circumstances is available only if the person has previously been convicted of premeditated murder, but the conviction has not yet been removed and not expunged. Or when a person has committed premeditated murder under aggravating circumstances provided by the same part of the article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine two or more times, and all episodes are considered in one criminal proceeding. In addition, the paper found that recurrence and recidivism, as forms of multiplicity of premeditated murders under aggravating circumstances, are not mutually exclusive and can be used by the court as a whole. It is concluded that in judicial practice there are many cases when courts do not clarify the issue of expungement or removal of a criminal record when imposing a penalty for repeated intentional homicides in aggravating circumstances. Therefore, the solution of this issue, in our opinion, needs legislative consolidation. After all, the recurrence of premeditated murder under aggravating circumstances is available only if the person has previously been convicted of premeditated murder, but the conviction has not yet been removed and not expunged. Or when a person has committed premeditated murder under aggravating circumstances provided by the same part of the article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine two or more times, and all episodes are considered in one criminal proceeding.
