Предмет преступления в науке уголовного права: проблемы и противоречия

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of understanding the subject of crime in the science of criminal law. The author analyzes different approaches to defining the content of the subject of crime, its location in the structure of the offense and the delimitation from the object of crime. The author raises the question about the development of an independent doctrine on the subject of crime as one of the elements of the offense. It is noted that in modern conditions material or non-material benefits (values) that give rise to public relations, through the manipulation with which the guilty person carries out criminal encroachment, should be considered the subject of a crime. Both material benefits (things, money, and property) and non-material benefits (property and liability rights, information, honor, dignity, life, health, activity (actions), etc.), which are exposed to criminal manipulation, can be the subject of a crime.
