On the Question of the Concept of Medical Crimes
( Pp. 46-51)

The purpose of the study. The article actualizes the problem of the lack of a unified approach to the concept of medical crimes, which both in legal practice and humanitarian doctrine has various terminological tools. This circumstance determines not only incorrect law enforcement, but also negatively affects medicine as a field of professional activity. Conclusions. As a result of the conducted research, the author comes to the conclusion that when establishing a list of signs that will serve to determine crimes of a medical nature, an unjustified emphasis on the object of criminal encroachment should be avoided, since it would be incorrect to define it by the interests of medical activity in the context of the established positivist doctrine of law. At the same time, the distinctive features of the studied group of illegal acts are indicated, taking into account which the author’s definition of medical crimes is proposed.
