Crimes against the person

The Constitution of the Russian Federation states that a person with his rights and freedom is the highest value, therefore encroachment on them is an extremely dangerous act. Crimes against persons are stipulated by the Criminal Code and are prosecuted by law, they are connected with infringement on honor, freedom and dignity of a person, constitutional rights, as well as with the threat of life and sexual inviolability.

The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation contains 53 articles that provide for punishment for this type of deed. In accordance with them, crimes against the individual can be divided into the following types:

1. Crimes against life and human health . These include murder, bringing to suicide, torture, etc.
2. Crimes against the honor and dignity of the individual, freedom. This is, for example, the case of libel, insult, kidnapping.
3. Crimes involving the sexual inviolability of the person.
4. Crimes that violate freedom and the human and civil rights reflected in the Constitution: non-observance of equality, encroachment on housing, etc.
5. Crimes against family values.

The first kind is one of the most serious unlawful acts, because as a result of these, harm is caused to health, in many cases leading to the death of a person.

Crimes against life can be committed both by action and by inaction. In the first case, there is a direct influence and an indirect one. It is not difficult to guess that when a person is directly guilty, he has an impact on the victim (knife wound, shot), and when mediated - directly without causing harm, but maneuvering on the psyche, for example, by threatening, blackmail.

A person is obliged to do everything so that there is no harm to the health of another, especially if it leads to death (here one can recall the negligence of doctors, the negligence of drivers, etc.).

Crimes that violate the sexual inviolability are classified as committed through actions. They are associated with a distorted relationship between the sexes, with violent satisfaction of needs and debauchery in the direction of minors and minors.

Considering crimes against honor and dignity of the person, against freedom, it is necessary to mention about each group separately. The latter include cases related to kidnapping, unauthorized deprivation of liberty, as well as illegal placement in a psychiatric clinic.

Against the person and freedom - slander and insult. The first involves the dissemination of untruthful information discrediting the reputation. The insult suffers the honor and dignity of a person who is being defiled in an indecent manner. However, it does not matter, in contrast to the slander, the degree of reliability of information.

Crimes against the person include, as we have already said, those that infringe on the constitutional human rights. They are produced both through action and inaction.

The last kind - against the family and minors - concerns the normal development of children and their upbringing. Attempts to involve minors or minor family members in actions that do not correspond to the moral principles of society (the use of narcotic substances, alcohol, tobacco) should be ruled out.

So, we understood that they represent especially dangerous illegal actions, namely, crimes against the person, described their main types (threats to life, freedom, honor, sexual inviolability, family values, rights enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation), examined each of them In more detail, and also got acquainted to some extent with the legislative base on this issue.
