Abstract

У статті зосереджується увага на розмежуванні складів злочину, передбачених ст. 304 та 150.1 КК України, також на суб’єктивних ознаках останнього.The article focuses on the demarcation of corpus delicti under the Articles 304 and 150,1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, as well as on the subjective features of the latter. It is affirmed that the fundamental difference between the concepts of “involvement” and “use” is as follows. “Involvement” is a child’s inducement for a crime or other negative deviation, i.e. the active implementation of illegal or immoral actions by a child (theft, fraud, drinking, begging and, etc.). “Use” in turn means treatment a child by an offender not as a person and, but as a useful for him thing, who encourages others to free transfer of certain material assets (money, food, etc.). In this case a child is an instrument of committing antisocial acts, being at the same time helpless victim of an offender. The subject of this crime should be considered – an adult, sane person using a child of tender years for begging, thus having a special status in relation to the child. The author has determined significant characteristics of a person, who uses a child of tender years for begging. This is mainly a female person (child’s mother), who is not married, has a dependent 1 or 2 children (and sometimes more), has a permanent place of residence, who is characterized mainly middling, is a citizen of Ukraine with incomplete secondary education (and sometimes without education), unemployed and mostly previously not convicted. The subjective aspect of the corpus delicti under the Art. 1501 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is in committing it only with direct intent and concerning the attitudes of the guilty party to the effects – they are expressed in the form of causing moderately severe or severe injuries to a child and can only be characterized as negligence. And in intent cases of the perpetrator and conscious assumption that because of certain actions a child will get injuries (moderate or severe), the acts should be qualified by cumulation of crimes under the relevant articles of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. A child as a special subject of social relations will always require special attention and proper primarily legal guaranteeing in protection of the rights, therefor, studies aimed at its improvement will always be relevant and practically significant.В статье сосредотачивается внимание на разграничении составов преступлений, предусмотренных ст. 304 и ст. 150.1 УК Украины, а также на субъективных признаках последнего.
