TYPICAL METHODS OF COMMITTING CRIMINAL OFFENSES BY PROFESSIONAL PARTICIPANTS OF JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS

Abstract

The article determines that the typical methods of committing criminal
offenses against justice by professional participants of judicial proceedings
include the following: 1) exerting pressure (psychological or physical (for
example, physical detention in certain places)) on participants of criminal
proceedings; 2) inciting to commit or not commit certain actions (for example, to
refuse a defense lawyer); 3) making threats against a participant of judicial
proceedings; 4) disrupting the operation of the automated document flow system in courts; 5) bribery; 6) discrediting (blackmail); 7) obstructing lawful activities
(for example, of a lawyer, thereby violating a person's right to defense), etc. It was
found that usually such methods are full-structured, as they include actions
related to preparation, direct commission, and concealment of a criminal offense.
Actions related to preparation include studying the victim's personality, choosing
favorable circumstances for the implementation of criminal intent, attracting
accomplices, selecting methods and means for its implementation, forging
documents, etc.
