Abstract
In the article hypnosis is considered as a way of committing crimes. In the current Criminal Code of Ukraine there is no legal regulation of relations related to the prosecution of persons using hypnosis for the commission of a crime. The models of qualification of the deeds committed by a person who was under the influence of hypnosis are analyzed; the judicial practice is analyzed. The author’s vision of the qualification of actions with the use of hypnosis and other methods of psychic and bioenergetic influence is suggested, by attaching it as a circumstance aggravating punishment in relation to the person using these methods (Article 67 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and as circumstances that mitigate punishment (Article 66 of the Criminal Code Ukraine), to the person in relation to which hypnosis is applied.
