Nykyforenko N. Prevention of criminal offenses related to corruption

The dissertation is a comprehensive criminal law and criminological study, in which the theoretical and applied principles of prevention of criminal offenses related to corruption have been formulated. The current state of the doctrinal treatment of the issues of preventing criminal offenses related to corruption is recognized as the one not meeting the needs of the practical actions of the relevant subjects of preventing and countering these crimes. This negatively affects the state of anti-corruption in the country. It has been established that the crimes provided for in Art. 366-2 and 366-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, are correctly classified as criminal offenses related to corruption, and not as criminal corruption offenses, since they are intended, in particular, to detect signs of corruption or attempts to conceal it. The inconsistency of the legislative provisions in the context of distinguishing between corruption and corruption-related criminal offenses was revealed; it was proposed to make changes to Part 1 of Art. 33-1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, which determines the subject matter jurisdiction of the High Anti-Corruption Court. The provisions on the immediate main and immediate additional objects of the crimes provided for in Art. 366-2 and 366-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (the declaration procedure ensures such a component of the correct (normal) activity of persons authorized to perform functions of the state or local self-government as their integrity during the performance of such functions or partially after the termination of the relevant powers; the authority of state bodies authorities and local self-government bodies is a mandatory additional object for the declaration of false information and optional for the intentional failure to submit a declaration; additional optional objects of criminal offenses provided for in Articles 366-2 and 366-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine are undefined and dependent on committing other crimes or minor offenses that preceded the declaration of false information or intentional failure to submit a declaration).
