Social danger of self-rule behaviour

Relevance. Solving problems and achieving their own goals is often carried out by people in violation of the established order, as well as openly criminal ways. Participants of various social relations commit unauthorised actions in order to restore both their violated rights and believing that they are violated, including those related to the impact on the property belonging to the victim, as well as well as other actions, exceeding the limits of self-protection of rights. The proper legal qualification of such actions requires the determination of the public danger of self-rule. In a state governed by the rule of law, only lawful and proportionate ways of resolving property disputes are acceptable, otherwise the actions of persons to protect their subjective rights acquire socially dangerous forms and determine the growth of criminally punishable self-rule. The purpose of the study is to establish the characteristics of public danger of self-rule, recognised by criminal legislation as a crime. Objectives : to analyse doctrinal approaches to the definition of public danger of self-rule and to establish its actual characteristics. Methodology. When writing the work the methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, general scientific (logical) methods and tools of system approach were used. Results . It is proved that the public danger of arbitrariness is determined by its harmfulness (causing harm or threat of harm) to public and private spheres of public relations. Conclusions. Unauthorised actions at self-rule not only violate the order of committing certain actions established by law, thus encroaching on the order of management, but also can cause negative changes in other objects of criminal-legal protection, not less significant in the hierarchy of social values, such as life and health, property, economy, interests of justice and so on.
