Abstract: In this article the author evaluates the theoretical problems regarding the institutional formation of the General Part of criminal law and its system. The analysis shows that the main goal of the General Part is to provide normative “service” to the two central categories: crime and criminal responsibility. The results of the studies substantiate the categorical character of these terms, showing their links to other phenomena. In the opinion of the author the system of institutions of the General Part of the criminal law is formed around these two categories, while not being limited to them. Based upon the results of the study the author concludes that the following institutions should be devoted to the category of crime in criminal law: the institution of definition and category of crime, including the sub-institution of situations excluding criminal character of an act; institution of persons subject to criminal responsibility; institution of guilt, including an sub-institution of situations excluding guilt; institution of attempted crime; institution of multiple crimes; institution of coparticipation in crime. Then, the institutions devoted to the category of criminal responsibility should be the following: institution of definition and goals of criminal responsibility; the institution of relief from criminal responsibility; institution of types and kinds of punishment; institution of assigning punishment; institution of relief from serving punishment; institution of confiscation of property and rules of its application; institution of compulsory measures of medical character and rules for its application; the institution of criminal record; institution of criminal responsibility of juveniles.
