Abstract

Incitement to suicide, abetment of suicide, assisted suicide, facilitation of its commission, as well as the organization of activities aimed at inducing suicide are related offences. Their research has allowed to reveal some shortcomings of their designs and to offer measures for their elimination. In related crimes should be agreed upon their sanctions. Analysis of the penalty of imprisonment established in the sanctions of article 110–110.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation has shown to reveal the lack of harmonization of sanctions for those norms. In the crimes provided for in articles 110 and 110.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, when the same consequences occur, a more lenient punishment is established for a more dangerous crime. If there are qualifying signs in a more dangerous crime, the punishment becomes more severe or equal to the punishment established for a less dangerous act with such signs. The organization of actions aimed at inducing suicide does not require the onset of consequences. However, the punishment for its commission is equivalent to inducing suicide or facilitating its commission in the event of consequences. In the presence of aggravating circumstances, the punishment equal to the punishment, which is defined in the qualified formulations of article 110–110.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
