Types of offenses are numerous. Their classification depends on what kind of public relations this or that encroachment was committed. The concept of an offense is connected specifically with public relations, which are protected by law. Of course, undue influence on them will be followed by specific sanctions.
Types of offenses can be distinguished depending on what sphere of public life they occur. They may be related to managerial activities, the economy or the household sector.
The offender’s goals also matter. Depending on them, offenses may be aimed at achieving any strictly defined or indefinite goal. Note that in both cases there can be several goals.
Types of offenses are also distinguished depending on the danger or harm that they cause to society. In this case, misconduct and crime are distinguished. Of course, it is crimes that are the most dangerous for society. They entail the application of criminal penalties. Their objects are property, health, as well as human life, political system, personality and so on.
Criminal law establishes severe penalties for crimes. The minimum criminal punishment is a fine, the maximum is the death penalty (currently it does not apply in our country). It is worth noting that some offenses may contain signs of corpus delicti, but will not be recognized as crimes, since their degree of public danger is too small.
Acts, of course, are not as dangerous to society as crimes. They can be committed in any of the spheres of public life. The object of the encroachment here can be anything. All of them can be divided into:
- disciplinary;
- administrative;
- civilians.
In certain cases, procedural offenses are also distinguished. These include, for example, the absence of the offender at the hearing.
Civil offenses (misconducts) have a rather specific object of assault. They are property and any non-property relations associated with them, which are regulated by civil law. Also included here are relations regulated by family, labor and land law. These types of offenses may be associated with failure to fulfill obligations (contractual or otherwise), causing damage to property. Sanctions are usually used to restore the situation that existed before the offense was committed, to recognize the right, and so on.
Administrative types of offenses (misconducts) are associated with a violation of the norms of administrative, procedural, land or financial law, and specifically - with attacks on any rights of citizens or the management procedure established in the state or its subjects. This is a violation of traffic rules, and indecent behavior, and violation of safety rules, and much more. The penalties in this case are different: fines, warnings, deprivation of the right to engage in specific activities and so on.
Disciplinary types of offenses (misconduct) are associated with the work schedule and rules of conduct adopted in organizations, institutions, and enterprises. It is believed that the violator, not observing them, negatively affects the work of the labor collective. Discipline is important - this means that serious measures can follow its violation. Here fines, reprimands, dismissals, deprivation of bonuses, transfers to other posts and so on are used.
