Demidova L.N. Criminal offence in Ukrainian law

Abstract: The main goal of this article is to devise conceptual approaches towards the introduction of criminal offence into Ukrainian criminal legislation. The Criminal Procedural Code of Ukraine, passed by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on April 13, 2012, introduced a notion of “criminal violation”, the content of which encompasses a criminal offence and crime. A special attention is given to foreign precedent and national traditions, as well as to the study of positions of researches in determination of the place of criminal offense within the system of legal violations. Based on the conducted analysis, the author formulates a conclusion on the need to introduce criminal offence into criminal legislation for the purpose of further humanization of criminal responsibility for separate crimes of minor gravity. By examining the correlation between the criminal offence with such institutions of criminal law as multiple offences, conspiracy to commit crime, and others, the author proposes and substantiates conceptual approaches of introduction of criminal offence into Ukrainian criminal legislation.
