With the raising of the social visibility of numerous forms of injury and endangerment of the environment, as well as the raising of people's awareness of the need for wider and more intensive environmental protection, a special group of crimes aimed exclusively at environmental protection is being formulated. Criminal protection of the environment should be viewed through the basic three characteristics of criminal law - its fragmentation, accessory and subsidiarity in order for this protection to be justified and to represent the ultima ratio in environmental protection. This position is taken both in the national criminal legislation and at the level of the European Union, within the framework of whose rich legislative activities in this field the states are again appealed to criminalize and prosecute crimes against the environment, when other measures of social reaction to damage and destruction of the environment does not give satisfactory results. Comparing the criminal offenses against the environment contained in the Criminal Code of Serbia with the actions whose incrimination is proposed within the EU regulations, it can be noticed that the domestic legislation is essentially harmonized with EU law. What remains "uncovered" is criminal law protection against noise, given that noise protection is regulated in domestic legislation within the framework of misdemeanor law.

Experience of foreign legislators allows to consider possible negative consequences when reforming the domestic legislation. The analysis of judicial practice, opinions of the Chinese and domestic scientists, the kriminogenic and qualifying signs allowed to establish strong and weaknesses of the Chinese legislation regarding a regulation of responsibility for rape. The Russian and Chinese criminal legislation has many common features. In many respects it is caused by the long-term socialist direction of development of the Russian Federation and People’s Republic of China. Nevertheless, the Chinese criminal legislation in the studied part has certain differences. So, for example, social, cultural and political and legal features of the Chinese system did not allow it to develop balanced by criminal - a legal mechanism of protection of the person against sexual encroachments irrespective of his floor. Now in criminal law of People’s Republic of China there is no independent responsibility for violent acts of sexual nature with penetration (anal, oral sexual contact) concerning males (in Russia such actions form the corpus delicti provided by Article 132 of the Criminal code). Such actions, despite high public danger, on the current edition of the law can be qualified only as infliction of harm to health or as dissolute actions.

The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of existing scientific and theoretical material and formulation of relevant conclusions. The following methods of scientific cognition were used during the research: comparative-legal, logical-grammatical, system-structural, modeling. Results In the course of the research it was recognized that in the criminal legislation of foreign countries there is no single approach to the definition of criminal offenses of terrorist orientation. In most European countries, prosecution is provided not only in the criminal code, but also in special laws to combat this phenomenon. At the same time, increased attention is paid to the fight against terrorist financing and incitement to terrorism. Also noteworthy is the attribution to terrorism of a significant number of illegal acts, which without a terrorist purpose constitute independent criminal offenses (murder, bodily harm, riots, robbery, damage to important public buildings, kidnapping, etc.). Scientific novelty. In the course of the research it is scientifically substantiated to divide the legislation on liability for criminal offenses of terrorist orientation into three models: 1) complex (combination of criminal law and specially defined for counter-terrorism legislation); 2) criminal law; 3) criminological, in which the fight against terrorism is reflected only in specialized legislation. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in law-making activities in further improving the national criminal law on terrorist offenses, as well as in the educational process during the teaching and study of disciplines "Special part of criminal law of Ukraine" and "Criminology".

The thesis examines the legitimacy of the criminal offenses introduced in Sec. 265c, 265d of the German Criminal Code (StGB). First, the addressed bribery-related manipulations of sports competitions are systematized phenomenologically and described in terms of extent and causes. The standard of review derived from the doctrine of legal interests and the principle of proportionality then requires an intensive examination of the content of the integrity of sport, which the legislature has declared to be the object of protection, an analysis of the structures of offenses, and an evaluation of the effectiveness of non-criminal law, in particular internal sports prevention and protection measures. As a result it should be noted: Sec. 265c and 265d of the German Criminal Code (StGB) also show questionable features of the expansive criminal legislation that has characterized recent years.

New criminal legislation got into force in Serbia at the beginning of 2006. In that way, Serbia got unique Criminal Code which includes all provisions of material criminal law except provisions related to the criminal position of juveniles. System of criminal sanctions for juvenile off enders, procedure for their imposition and the way, procedure and terms for their execution are regulated by the provisions of the separate law - the Law on juvenile off enders and criminal protection of juveniles. Some of the most important novelties introduced by new juvenile criminal law are system of diversion, i.e. system of diversion orders, which aim at excluding the imposition of criminal sanctions in the cases when criminal sanction is not necessary from the perspective of crime suppression. Bearing that in mind, this paper is dedicated to forms of diversion orders as a form of measures that lead to more efficient system of restorative justice within our new juvenile criminal legislation. .

The article is devoted to the problems of criminal legal protection of a person in Ukraine. The number of articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (for example, Articles 115, 116, 117, etc.) do not take into account the specific features of those socially dangerous acts, for which they provide for liability, which does not allow to provide them with adequate criminal law assessment. The author analyzed the components of individual crimes that affect the life, health, sexual freedom and sexual integrity of a person. Based on the study, conclusions were made on the need for changes and additions to the current criminal legislation of Ukraine. It is proposed to understand murder as the most intentional unlawful infliction of death of another person and to abandon the term «murder through negligence», replacing it with «infliction of death through negligence» in Art. 119 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. In this regard, it is proposed to replace the term «premeditated murder» with «murder» in Articles 115, 116, 117, 118 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is also proposed to provide in Part 2 of Art. 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine as qualifying features of a crime murder of a minor, elderly person and representatives of other vulnerable categories of the population. The article points out the inexpediency of using the term «systematic» for actions for which liability is provided in Articles 116 and 120 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as it deprives them of the possibility of their application in the case of a single act, proposes a new version of Articles 116, 117 and 120 of the Criminal Code. while the latter contains a definition of «suicidal tendencies». The author proposes to exclude Art. 126-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as it is incorrectly drafted, contains ambiguous terms and duplicates existing criminal law. A new version of the disposition of Part 1 of Art. 152 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is proposed and indicated the need to take into account the voluntary consent of a person under 14 years of age in the classification of crimes against sexual freedom and sexual integrity of a person. Key words: crime, responsibility, qualification, term.

Human health is one of the values that are (among other things) protected by criminal law. It is also one of the basic human rights, guaranteed by both international legal documents and the constitutions of countries as the most important domestic legal acts. In this sense, the state is expected to ensure human health by criminalizing behaviors that endanger health, as well as by imposing criminal sanctions on those who commit such behaviors (e.g. a group of crimes against human health). It is these issues that have come to the fore during the corona virus pandemic and that are the subject of this paper. Namely, during the current pandemic, it has been noticed that the protective function of criminal law is not fully realized, which has resulted in the spread of the said infectious disease. Therefore, in this paper we consider the meaning and goal of criminal protection of human health during the corona virus pandemic, through the legal analysis of criminal offenses in the Criminal Code of Republika Srpska and give certain proposals de lege ferenda.
