ISSUES OF DETERMINING THE TIME OF COMMISSION OF A CONTINUING CRIME

Аннотация

The criminal law does not define a singular (single) crime or a plurality of (several) crimes. Based on the content of the provisions of Chapter VIII (Multiplicity of crimes) of the General Part of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, it can be said that there are such forms of multiplicity of crimes as repetition of crimes, totality of crimes, recidivism of crimes. The criminal law defines a continuing crime. However, the question of the time of commission of these crimes remained open. Despite the fact that a continuing crime is de jure considered completed at the time of the commission of the first act, such crime de facto continues to have a negative impact on the object of criminal law protection. The time of commission of a continuing crime, it must be recognized, is not the time of the initial socially dangerous act that constitutes the completed crime, but the time of its termination by the person who committed it, or for other reasons.
