Abstract: The article analyzes the situation related to the increase in cases of minor suicide that worsens the demographic situation of the country. Analysis of statistical data on crimes related to minor suicide and comparison of it with a survey of law enforcement officials allows us to conclude that there is a high latency for crimes of this category.
The author notes that minor suicides are studied by specialists from various fields of knowledge. An overview of the points of view of scientists regarding the wording of articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation providing for liability for incitement to suicide or assistance to suicide is provided. The study of foreign legislation allows us to conclude that there are different criminal legal means to protect minors from suicide in different countries. Within the CIS countries the unification of terms is required in order to achieve their uniformity which is important since issues of legal assistance in criminal cases between countries especially in the field of extradition depend on this.

The need for proper criminalistics support for the investigation of crimes aimed at minors committing suicide, the preparation of verified scientific and practical recommendations on tactics and organization of the investigation of these crimes is substantiated.
