THE TRADITIONS OF THE UKRAINIAN CRIMINAL-LAW THEORY ON DETERMINING THE AGE OF CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY

Abstract

The article analyzes the traditions of the Ukrainian criminal law theory for determining the age of criminal responsibility. The purpose of this article is to attempt to solve actual problems regarding the revision and clarification of the list of crimes, responsibility for the commission of which comes from the age of 14, as indicated in part 2 of Art. 22 of the Criminal Code. In the course of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that the specified minimum age limits are not absolutely universally recognized, because during the development and discussion of the draft Criminal Code of Ukraine there were proposals to increase or decrease them. But the Criminal Code of 2001 retained the traditions of the Criminal Code of the Ukrainian SSR in 1960, establishing a general age of criminal responsibility – 16 years.
