Влияние антропогенного фактора на последствия применения огнестрельного оружия ограниченного поражения

Abstract

Due to the development of the arms industry in Russia and the filling of various types of non-lethal kinetic weapons (NLW), also referred to as traumatic or kinetic weapons, the beginning of the XXI century is characterized by an intensive accumulation on the hands of the population in the Russian Federation (RF) of a significant number of its weapons. Thus, if in 2008 about 4.4 thousand crimes were committed with the use of traumatic weapons, then by 2012 the population of the Russian Federation had from 1.5 to 3.5 million samples of NLW in their hands. In 2015 alone, more than 1 million permits for possession of NLW were issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The Nenets Autonomous District, which is part of the Arkhangelsk region, being along with other territories of the region, part of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, is among the leaders in the Russian Federation by the rate of increase in the number of registered crimes related to the illegal circulation of these weapons (+90.9 %). The combination of such factors as the presence of a significant number of firearms in the hands of the population, a high proportion of their illegal circulation and, as a consequence, the unjustified use of firearms in public places prompted us to study this problem from the side of the influence of anthropogenic (human) factor on human health.Purpose of the study. To study the influence of anthropogenic factor on the effects of NLW. Out of 248 victims, 235 (94.8 %) males and 13 (5.2 %) females were identified. The mean age was (31.8 years) and ranged from 16 to 64 years. The largest age category of 30–39 years was 100 (40.3 %) people, and the highest number of victims in the Arctic territory of the Arkhangelsk region was in 2011–2015. The subsequent decrease in the number of injuries is probably due to the adoption of a number of regulations tightening the turnover (FZ- № 398 of 28.12.2010 "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts", the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia from 07.06.2022 № 403). A significant part of the victims — 80 (32.3 %) were admitted to hospital emergency rooms in a state of alcoholic or drug intoxication. As a result of the use of firearms, 3 victims (1.2 %) suffered disability and permanent disability. On the territory of the Arctic zone of the Arkhangelsk Region NLW were mostly used not for self-defense, but for hooligan motives 134 (98.5 %) cases out of 136 accurately determined.
