In a conflict situation, when one person threatens another with brutal reprisals, you can not give up and go on about the offender. Impunity often breeds new aggression. In such cases, article 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation will help. You just need to contact the law enforcement authorities and bring the opponent to justice.
In search of a solution
Situations in which Article 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is applied occur as a result of misunderstandings caused by the clarification of relations. Most often, disputes arise between relatives or those who are fairly close to each other. Usually these are everyday conflicts, but there can also be a showdown of a personal nature. In such a situation, sometimes there comes a time when insults and fights do not bring the desired effect. In this case, one of the parties chooses the scare tactics. She is trying to resolve the issue in her favor, threatening death or serious injuries.
Article 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation will help punish such an aggressor. What does a raging bully usually count on? Of course, he is trying to psychologically influence the victim. What does a person feel after the threat expressed to him? Naturally, fear and fear for your life. It is on these emotions that the main emphasis is placed. The tyrant is trying to morally suppress the identity of the enemy. If he succeeds, then the goal is achieved. Otherwise, repeated threats may follow. It is possible to resist such an impact only by using the law as protection. Article 119 of the Criminal Code here is what is needed. All that needs to be done is to write a statement. Justice takes upon itself the rest.
The punishment of the guilty
Not every threat contains a sufficient degree of danger. Sometimes people casually throw words, not giving them due importance. If the danger really exists, only article 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation will help to avoid it. The punishment, which is provided for in accordance with it (in Part 1), will make the offender think about his act and draw the appropriate conclusions.
According to the law, the violator is entitled to a choice (depending on circumstances): compulsory labor for a period of 4-80 hours, arrest up to 6 months, as well as forced labor, restriction or complete imprisonment for a term not exceeding 2 years. Such a punishment cannot be called too harsh. It is more like an educational moment. The main goal is to convey to the offender that aggressive actions against another person are unacceptable. In addition, no one has the right to threaten a person, and any encroachment on his life and health will be suppressed in all possible ways.
Justified threat
Sometimes it is very difficult for the victim to prove that the words of the offender did indeed present a threat to life. Article 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation can be applied only in case of real concerns. The situation can be twofold. It all depends on the seriousness of intent. For example, one of the residents of a communal apartment constantly forgets to turn off the lights in the bathroom. A neighbor repeatedly makes a remark to him, but it does not bring any result. At one point, he does not hold back and promises to kill if such actions are repeated. Now the situation is different. A citizen periodically beats his wife. She is constantly silent. But there comes a time when a woman decides to answer him and promises to turn to the police for help. An enraged husband grabs a knife from the table and threatens to stab him if she fulfills her promise.
In what situation is the threat real? Of course, in the second. Here intentions are confirmed by physical actions. It is also not bad if the applicant has witnesses. With their participation, the appeal will be more convincing.
Deliberate intentions
The cause of the threat can be much more serious than just a family showdown or misunderstanding between neighbors. This is stated in part 2 of this article. The question may concern ideological, political, national, as well as religious or racial hostility. Such clashes threaten society with great unrest. And if the case will concern a specific social group, then the outcome of the case will be difficult to predict. These issues are also raised by article 119 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The term provided for as punishment is more stringent and categorical.
Under this article, the perpetrator may be deprived of liberty. Moreover, the run-up here is already from two to five years. At the same time, he may be forbidden to engage in a specific type of activity or to perform certain work corresponding to his official duties. This item appeared not so long ago. It was introduced in July 2007 by specially published law No. 211-FZ. This is done after a decision was made to single out such violations in a separate article. Now they began to be equated with violations against the individual.
