The qualification of a crime is an analytical process of law enforcement activity aimed at establishing and legalizing the correspondence between the factual circumstances of the analyzed act and the characteristics of the specific crime provided for in the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The qualification of a crime defines the «starting point» for activating criminal prosecution. The analytical logistics of the qualification subject undergoes successive stages formed by the qualification algorithm. The correct crime qualification using the developed algorithm justifies the correspondence between the factual circumstances of the act under analysis and the person charged with the crime. Purpose: to analyze crime qualification theory and practice, to develop an analytical logistics system and a model qualification algorithm. Methods: the author applies empirical methods of comparison, description, modeling, theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic, synthesis, formation of scientific concepts, formulation of laws. The results of the research make it possible to determine the correlative factors influencing the qualification formula, to propose a universal crime qualification algorithm, applicable in both pre-trial and trial proceedings.

CONCEPT AND SYSTEM OF IMPACT MUNITIONS USED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT

LEGAL REGULATION OF MEASURES OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND PROCEDURAL COERCION

In accordance with the methodology of the system analysis, the legal regulation of measures of administrative and procedural coercion applied in administrative and tort law is considered. An analysis of the current Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses and the draft Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses prepared by the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine and other normative acts is carried out. It is noted that measures to ensure proceedings in cases of administrative offenses occupy a special place in the current administrative legislation. Measures of administrative and procedural coercion are procedural actions of administrative jurisdiction bodies and their officials regulated by administrative and procedural norms, which are carried out in the process of law enforcement activity in order to identify the offense, establish the offender, create conditions for clarifying the circumstances of the case, identify, investigate and consolidate evidence, ensuring the execution of the decision in the case. Special features of administrative and procedural measures of coercion are determined. Considering the coercive nature and restrictions imposed by the application of personal, property, organizational rights, there is a need for detailed regulation of the grounds, conditions, procedure of such measures. The structural separation of measures of administrative and procedural coercion in the procedural part of the normative and legal act on administrative offenses is important. It proves the need for legal optimization of measures to ensure proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. With regard to each measure of administrative and procedural coercion to ensure the proceedings in the case of an administrative offense, the rules of the normative and legal act should include the content of the constituent actions, specific goals, grounds and conditions of application.
