Abstract

Official negligence as a kind of deviant behavior, consists in deviation from the norms of responsibility, care and integrity in the workplace, which are especially important in conditions of strict regulation of the activities of law enforcement officers. This form of deviation, due to the presence of personal, emotional and motivational characteristics of employees of the relevant structures, is usually characterized by violations of the established service discipline, which leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the law enforcement system and discredits the image of a law enforcement officer in the eyes of society. Particular issues of the analysis of liability for negligence by law enforcement officers are relevant to the theory and practice of criminal law. This reason is conditioned by the need of their in-depth study so as to improve Russian criminal legislation and to extend the practical application of the criminal law norm specified in the Article 293 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation as well as to implement its preventive potential. Research methodology: An in-depth study of the main categories and concepts used to accurately and correctly determine the constructive signs of the investigated criminal encroachment is done by dialectical, comparative, technical and logical methods. Summary: The article reveals the provisions on the specifics of the qualification of the actions of law enforcement officers that constitute a breach of good faith or negligence in the performance of his or her official duties. Conducted constructive analysis of criminal legislation, a synthesis of the views of individual scientists-lawyers are allowed to form a holistic view of the institution of responsibility of law enforcement officers for committing a crime under article 293 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and to identify the main problems that show up at the constructive tagging of this act. Eliminating these problems will help to increase the effectiveness of the application of this norm.
