Abstract

The article analyzes the feasibility of introducing the institution of criminal offense. The focus is on reforming the criminal justice system.

It was found out that one of the directions of reforming the criminal justice of Ukraine is the introduction of the institute of criminal misdemeanor in the criminal legislation.

According to the results of the study, different approaches to the expediency of establishing liability for misconduct in the criminal legislation of Ukraine have been identified.

It is reasonable that changing the understanding of the concept of crime and the criteria for its evaluation is not an easy path, but in today's conditions the introduction of criminal offenses is a progressive, timely and unalterable step, as no scientific developments can solve law enforcement problems.

Keywords: criminal proceedings, institute of criminal offense, crime, reforming, criminal legislation, Concept of reforms, criminal justice
