Abstract

The article discusses issues devoted to particular problems of the circumstances excluding the criminality of a deed. The article analyzes the opinions of scientists about the essence of lawful harm. The obtained results are applied to the activities of police officers in conditions of justifiable defense. Attention is drawn to the contradictions between the norms on the use of weapons provided in the Federal Law “On Police” and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the article is to determine the legal and social nature of lawful harm caused by police officers. In order to achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved: an analysis of scientists’ opinions on the considered issue was carried out; the functions of criminal legal norms regulating the infliction of lawful harm were revealed; the importance of legally significant acts provided by the norms of criminal legislation was determined. The methodological basis of the research is represented by both general scientific and private scientific research methods. The most commonly used method was analysis. The result of the study is the conclusion that if a police officer causes harm to law-protected interests, in the presence of circumstances excluding the criminality of a deed, then such actions are lawful in form and socially useful in content. The obtained data can be used both for further study of the institution of lawful harm and for training police officers.
