Violation of the right to protection: separate issues of criminalization, penalization and differentiation of liability

The study is focused on specific issues of the grounds for criminalizing violations of the right to protection, with relevant circumstances being considered in both qualitative and quantitative terms. The paper also analyses the problem of penalization of these acts and differentiation of criminal liability for their commission. The relevance of the study is due to the importance of the right to protection, on the one hand, and the lack of adequate criminal guarantees for its implementation, on the other. The scientific novelty of the research, among other things, comprises the findings, including not only proposals for the formulation of dispositions of articles of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, but moreover, concrete decisions on the construction of sanctions of the legal norms on liability for named acts and the design of qualified elements of a crime.
