Abstract

The article presents the analysis of specific criminological features of the persons who have committed high treason in order to know their typical criminological profile. For the purpose of that, 39 court decisions of the Unified State Register of Judgments (hereinafter: USRJ) of Ukraine, which were made against persons who committed this type of crime, were examined. Socio-demographic (gender, age, education, nationality) and criminal-law (motivation of the criminal behavior, single or group criminal character of criminal activity, duration of criminal activity, presence or absence of criminal record, etc.) were estimated in investigation. Generalization and interpretation of the results of court decisions made it possible to simulate a typical criminological profile of the perpetrator of the state treason and to identify certain specific characteristics of the subjects of this crime. It is concluded that knowledge of the criminological profile of the state traitor is of great importance for the profile of criminals by law enforcement agencies, which are empowered to prevent crime in the field of national security.
