Implementation of the constitutional principles of building a democratic state requires legal and reasonable bringing of a person to criminal liability. In this context, it is of particular relevance to study the issues of the subject and subjective side of corpus delicti under the current criminal legislation of Ukraine. A socially dangerous act and subjective elements of corpus delicti are the concepts of criminal law which exist in objective unity and are related to its institutions and other legal disciplines.

The issues of the subject and the subjective side of the corpus delicti are important in the theory and practice of application of criminal law, since they are one of the mandatory elements of the corpus delicti as a basis for criminal liability. At the same time, the absence of the signs of the subject and subjective side of the crime established by criminal law in an act indicates the absence of corpus delicti. That is why the terms "criminal act" and "crime" are not used in relation to the acts of minors or mentally ill persons, no matter how high a degree of danger they may pose.

For scholars, teachers, postgraduate students, students and students of higher educational institutions of legal direction and law faculties, as well as lawyers, practical employees of pre-trial investigation bodies, prosecutors and judges.
