Farvazova, Y.R. Problems of legislative enshrinement of the category of “crimes of terrorist character”.

Abstract: Based upon the analysis of normative legal acts of the Russian Federation the author uncovers a non-uniform approach towards provisions for and the list of the crimes of terrorist character. The number of crimes of this category varies from 8 to 18. The category of crimes of terrorist character includes extremism-directed crimes and other categories of crimes, allowing for “double entry accounting” of crimes. The said position of the legislators has a negative impact upon the recognition of terrorist threats and efficient law-enforcement activities. The methodological basis for the scientific article was formed by the current achievements of the theory of cognition. In the process of studies the author used general philosophical, theoretical and empiric methods (dialectics, systemic method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods ( formal logic method), and methods typical for specific sociological studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.). When qualifying an act as being a crime of terrorist character first of all it is necessary to take into account the presence of terrorist goal. The author substantiates the need to provide for a definition of a crime of terrorist character and a closed list of such crimes at a legislative level. Implementation of this provision allows to form objective statistical reporting, based upon which it becomes possible to develop efficient measures against terrorism in the territory of the Russian Federation.
