Criminalistic Characteristic of an Individual Offender Committing Criminal Violations of Privacy

Abstract

The article gives criminalistic characteristic of an individual violator of privacy. It is noted that most of the criminals in this area can be attributed to situational persons, public danger of personality of which is slightly expressed in their behaviour, but it is also evident in appropriate situations. Intent to commit crimes is often formed when a hostile personal relationship between the occurrence of previously close people and is aimed at causing moral suffering to the victim by disseminating slanderous information, possession of which became possible in the previous period of trust relationships. Selfish intent aims at obtaining material reward for providing information to stakeholders of privacy of the victim, or to receive "backhanders" from the victim for refusing to commit acts aimed at the dissemination of confidential information. The important quality of violators is the lack of a criminal record and sustainable relationships with criminals that prejudice the position of the culprit, calling for cooperation with law enforcement agencies, assistance in investigation and full confession as the circumstances taken into account in sentencing.
