Abstract

Based on the analysis of the investigative and judicial practice of investigation of criminal offences related to raiding, and also on the generalization of theoretical developments on the mechanism of criminal activity, the article proves that the mechanism of criminal activity of raiders is complex and multifaceted, since it is manifested in a variety of criminal offences which may sometimes even be embodied by criminal technologies. Based on the scientific research carried out, depending on the object and subject matter of the offence, it has been established that criminal offences related to raiding can be classified into several groups. In this regard, it is proposed that in the context of cognition of the criminal activity of raiders, the author distinguishes a specific mechanism of criminal activity, which should be understood as the internal systemic order of interaction of the forensically significant elements of criminal activity of a raider, a group of raiders and factors of objective reality, which is caused by the object and subject of criminal encroachment and is a reflection of criminal activity and is manifested in a group of constituent elements covering forensically significant information.

It is determined that the constituent elements of the species mechanism should be considered to be the situation, the subject matter of the criminal offence, the totality of actions of the offender and other persons associated with him/her, the behaviour of the victim and the actions of persons who were accidental participants to the criminal offence or were otherwise involved in the implementation of the criminal intent of the raider, a group of raiders, and the correlations between the actions of the offender and the criminal result which occurred as a result of the criminal actions of the offender.

It is emphasised that the prospects for further research should be detailed characteristics of the outlined elements of the specific mechanisms of each of the identified groups of criminal offences related to raiding.
