Criminal and legal aspects and problematic issues of qualification of gangsterism
Journal Title: ПИТАННЯ БОРОТЬБИ ЗІ ЗЛОЧИННІСТЮ - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 36
Abstract
Counteraction to organized crime, in particular gangsterism, remains a relevant area of law enforcement activity. This issue is even more urgent because the number of persons prosecuted for gangsterism on the territory of Ukraine has a constant growth trend. Gangsterism remains one of the most dangerous crimes against public safety. The high level of public danger of gangsterism, its combination with other serious and especially serious crimes (murder, grievous bodily injury, brigandism, extortion, hostage taking etc.), a variety of criminal forms and manifestations, the complexity of qualifying and proving its various aspects make it necessary to conduct a criminal-legal and criminological study of issues of gangsterism, to develop a new system to prevent this type of crime. While conducting criminal research of the structure of organized criminal group a generalized “portrait” of the perpetrator of gangsterism was compiled: male (99,5 %), citizen of Ukraine (97,0 %), city dweller (83,0 %), has low level of education (part of whom has secondary-level education or upper-secondary education (92,9 %), ages of 25 – 40 years old (70,6 %). A characteristic feature of gangsterism is an insignificant proportion of criminals who have committed a gangster attack while intoxicated (less than 15 %), which is explained by careful planning, identifying the targets of the attack and demonstrates the deliberate and strong-willed criminal behavior of bandits. In law enforcement, when qualifying crimes committed by a gang, there are often problematic issues related to the ambiguous interpretation of the criminal law characteristics of this criminal gang. During the qualification of specific socially dangerous acts committed by an organized armed criminal group created to commit attacks on citizens and organizations, there is a problem in defining the norm of criminal law, which shall be applied in a particular case.
