Russia is among the leading countries in the number of suicides in the world.Most suicides occur because of the adverse effects of those around the victim.The Criminal Code of 1960, in the "incitement to suicide" (Article 107), a person is guilty only if the injured party financially dependent on him.In 1996, this article has been changed.The aggrieved party could be any individual.The current article - "incitement to suicide" - may cause charges of any outsider who somehow influenced to commit suicide.For defamation fabrications or threats against the victim and suspects may be held criminally responsible.
Let's look at the objective side of the article "incitement to suicide".The point is put in the case of:
1. dishonorable conduct of the accused, ie: abuse, threats, humiliation of human dignity.
2. If the actions the defendant drove the victim to a stalemate, in which the latter felt hopelessness.
3. If the victim led to suicide, and the reasons for this are due to the behavior of the suspect.
article "incitement to suicide" given a clear list of punishable acts that contribute to suicide:
- threats against the victim;
- ill-treatment;
- constant humiliation.
under article "incitement to suicide" is not subject to any other action.For example, there are not included constant harassment of his girlfriend or delays in payment of wages.About qualification threats no explanation.Therefore, the investigator may take for them the following: violence, illegal eviction, dissemination intimate kind.But the dismissal, which led to the suicide can not be attributed to Article 110.
abuse - it is rather an estimate term that is used in other articles of the law.To this can be counted among the various violent physical actions: beatings, rape, restrictions on movement.Basically it involves a constant, regular conduct of the accused.Repeated insults and mockery called the Criminal Code the term "systematic humiliation".Suicide can be caused by both direct action and inaction.For example, denial of food.The subjective aspect of this question is quite controversial: some investigators can prevent negligence in this case, the other - indirect intent, and others - the direct intent.
There is a general rule that pushing someone to suicide is carried out either through negligence or with indirect intent.But do not rule out the direct intention: bring the injured person to commit suicide, that is, implies the possibility of further suicide.With threats and ill-treatment, he leads the victim to these thoughts.For example, the victim, who is constantly under pressure, says that will bring scores of lives, if it does not stop.Knowing this, the defendant continues to threaten the victim, wishing her death.In direct action intent of the accused may be regarded as murder.But in practice it is difficult to prove, as a conscious murder victim commits himself, who is of sound mind.The text of Article 110 "incitement to suicide", you can read more about in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
