About the content categories "insignificance acts" in criminal law

The relevance of the chosen research topic is due to the problem of the lack of clear criteria for applying the norm on the insignificance of an act, which gives rise to numerous errors in its use. The subject of the research was the norms of criminal legislation, acts of the judiciary, scientific works devoted to an action or inaction, formally containing signs of an action provided for by criminal law, but due to its insignificance, it does not pose a public danger. The aim of the study is to develop proposals for improving the content of the category of "insignificant act". The research is carried out through the use of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization, logical, ascent from the concrete to the abstract) and specific scientific (technical and legal, structural and functional, formal legal) methods. As a result of the research, the author suggested the circumstances to be taken into account when deciding on the insignificance of the act.
