DIFFERENCES IN THE APPROACHES TO THE CRIMINAL-LEGAL PROHIBITION OF BATTERING AND MURDER IN THE LEGISLATION OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES

Abstract

At present, the world system is formed from 200 countries, the criminal legislation of which has its own historical and legal features. Historically, the level of development of its national legislation as a whole depends on the level of development of criminal legislation in a country. Many domestic scientists who studied the criminal law norms of foreign countries criticized them for a long time,but since the 80s of the twentieth century, they have increasingly begun to concentrate the study of foreign criminal legislation. By carrying out a comparative legal analysis of the national legislation of Ukraine, including the Criminal Code of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Code of Ukraine) with the criminal legislation of other, foreign states, researchers manage to determine certain positive and negative manifestations that can be improved in the future.
