analyzing the theory of criminal law and the law, you can often encounter such thing as a "crime", which is an integral part of the criminal legal relations.In this connection there is a need for a clear understanding of his and specific definition.This concept is enshrined in the general part of the Criminal Code.
crime - it is primarily the act of the subject, dangerous for society and for the state, which is prohibited by the present criminal law under threat of punishment.However, from the point of view of the law, this concept is not limited to a single formal definition, where there are only signs of illegality.There is a formal and material.This definition gives information to answer the question: "Why is the act prohibited by law, and the main criterion will be the wine, that is a psychological attitude to the illegal activities is the person?"
Based on the fact that the crime - a wrongful act, it is worth considering the existing criminal law in the category of crimes, that is, the division acts according to severity.According to the law of the Russian Federation, they are of little gravity, then go to a less serious crime, then - serious, and finally completed the list of the most serious acts.
For each degree there are certain sentences that are also listed in the article.15 of the Criminal Code.Taking into account the maximum time in prison, the crimes referred to above categories.Consider, for example, an act for which the criminal law is assigned a prison sentence of 8 to 20 years.This is art.105 of the Criminal Code, murder, and take into account the aggravating circumstance - with particular cruelty, item "e".According to the law, the act can be considered a particularly serious since the maximum term of imprisonment exceeding 10 years.
Every crime - is, first and foremost, an act which has its object (the object of the offense).An object is defined something that is directed illegal activities.For example, crimes against health (Art. 111 of the Criminal Code), life (Art. 105), property (Art. 158), and others. Article 111 of the Criminal Code - causing harm to health, that is the object of the crime will act causing the person harm, threateninglife or led to the loss of function of an organ, or a loss.Article 105 - Murder is the intentional killing of another human being.As has become clear, the object is a human life.Article 158 - theft.This embezzlement secretly owned by another person at the right of ownership, the object here is to act estate: real estate, vehicles, telephone, securities, and others.
Thus, we can conclude that the crime - a concept that is closelyIt associated with such sections as the criminal law and the institution of punishment.However, the legislator is not reflected in the concept of class lines, citing the fact that in Russia there is no ruling classes, and the institution of political power is the same for everyone.
