Current Theoretical and Practical Issues of Theft Qualification

The article examines current theoretical and practical issues arising in the qualification of theft. The authors conducted and presented an analysis of the problems of qualification related to the characteristics of legal liability and the distinction between theft and crimes that have identical characteristics. The work presents a number of arguments confirming the need for a clearer distinction between theft and civil, administrative, tax and other offenses. Proposals are put forward to eliminate contradictions in judicial practice in assessing and distinguishing crimes related to the secret theft of someone else’s property.
