The Criminal Offence in Russian Criminal Law
On the base of analysis of social danger and social maleficence crimes are delimited from administrative offenses. The concept of legal treatment of criminal offence under Part 2 of Art. 14 of Russian Criminal Code is proved. The proposal is made to divide non-grave crimes into two groups: low gravity crimes (non-custodial sentence) and minor offenses (from 2 months till 3 years of imprisonment).
