Vienas iš dažniausiai padaromų nusikaltimų ne tik Lietuvoje, bet ir kitose pasaulio valstybėse – vagystė. Mūsų valstybė šio nusikaltimo kontrolei ir prevencijai skiria nemažą dėmesį, dažnai tobulina ir keičia teisės normas, numatančias baudžiamąją atsakomybę už vagystę. Šios normos ne visada būna tinkamai inkorporuotos į visą Lietuvos Respublikos baudžiamojo kodekso normų sistemą, ir tai sąlygoja praktinio taikymo sunkumus, problemas atribojant panašias nusikalstamas veikas nuosavybei bei nevienodą teismų praktiką tokiose bylose, todėl ši tema aktuali tiek teoriniu, tiek praktiniu aspektu. Šio darbo tikslas buvo atskleisti vagystės kaip socialinio reiškinio esmę ir išnagrinėti baudžiamosios atsakomybės už ją reglamentavimo problemas Lietuvos Respublikos baudžiamajame įstatyme. Šiam darbui buvo iškelti šie uždaviniai: panagrinėti baudžiamosios atsakomybės už vagystę sampratos bei ją numatančių įstatymų raidą Lietuvos Respublikoje ir pasaulyje; atskleisti vagystės sudėtį ir pagrindinius jos požymius Lietuvos Respublikoje bei užsienio šalių baudžiamuosiuose įstatymuose; išanalizuoti ir atskleisti vagystę kvalifikuojančius bei itin kvalifikuojančius požymius Lietuvos Respublikos baudžiamajame kodekse; aptarti bausmės už vagystę pagrindinius aspektus bei problematiką Lietuvos Respublikoje; atskleisti vagystės ir kitų nusikalstamų veikų nuosavybei skirtumus bei dažniausiai pasitaikančias praktikos problemas, taikant šias veikas reglamentuojančius įstatymus.

Lithuanian legislator pays quite much attention for the prevention and control of this crime, regularly improves and amends the laws, prividing a criminal liability for theft. These legal regulations are not always properly incorporated into the entire system of regulations of the Lithuanian Criminal Code, which leads to difficulties of their practical application, problems disassociating similar criminal acts to property from different judicial proceedings in such cases. That makes this topic relevant for both – theoretical and practical aspects. The objective of this work was to reveal the conception of theft as a social phenomenon and to explore the problems of regulation of criminal liability for theft in the Lithuanian Criminal Code. The main tasks set for this work were the following: to perform the research of development of the conception of penal liability for theft and the laws regulating it in the Respublic of Lithuania and other countries; to reveal the composition of theft, and to compare the similarities and differences of theft composition between criminal laws of the Respublic of Lithuania and foreign countries; to analyse and compare the aggravating features of theft between criminal laws of the Respublic of Lithuania and foreign countries; to discuss the main aspects and problems of sentences for theft in Lithuanian Republic, to reveal...

While in several jurisdictions corporate criminal liability is accepted, in Brazil the maxim still prevails that corporations cannot commit crimes. In common law countries the attribution of criminal liability to corporations was developed more than a century ago, and the concept of corporate criminal liability has been extensively discussed. This work is an attempt to look into the common law experience and to offer a plausible basis for the introduction of corporate criminal liability in Brazil. The research is essentially theoretical; it is mostly based on relevant literature from Britain, Canada and United States, three exponents of common law jurisdictions, and on relevant literature from Brazil.

Given the overwhelming financial and human costs of crime committed through the incorporated entity, this thesis explores corporate criminal liability in criminal law as a mechanism of social control for corporate crime. First, this thesis traces the fundamental claims regarding corporate criminal liability in both the jurisprudential and sociological literatures in an effort to explore how law applies liability in a criminal context to the incorporated entity. Second, the contemporary corporate criminal liability landscape in Canada is examined. In particular, an examination of Bill C-45 as codified corporate criminal liability and as criminal law in action is empirically grounded in a detailed review of both the black letter law of corporate criminal liability and the judicial case documents on prosecutions against incorporated entities for corporate crimes. Finally, this thesis analyzes the socio-legal environment of corporate criminal liability through its construction and operation within Canadian criminal law. Overall, as a result of the legal, cultural, political, and economic privileges of the incorporated entity, corporate criminal liability is a product of a socio-legal environment that inhibits the ability of criminal law to be an effective mechanism of social control for corporate crime. Only when corporate criminal liability recognizes the complexities of the social, economic, and organizational structures and practices that are shaping corporate criminal activities can it become an effective mechanism for regulating the most harmful corporate misconduct. Otherwise, as this thesis demonstrates, corporate criminal liability will continue to be all bark and no bite. / Thesis (Master, Sociology) -- Queen's University, 2014-06-17 16:56:40.627
