Abstract:
In the present study is analyzed failure to report a crime as a form of involvement in the crime. The features of failure to report a crime are identified. The similarities and differences between failure to report a crime and criminal participation are established. It is noted that the national legal framework does not contain regulations on failure to report a crime. At the same time, it is noted that in the legislation of some foreign states (much more civilized) the failure to report a certain category of crimes constitutes an offence. It is concluded that the Moldovan legislator should also criminalize such conduct. In this regard, is proposed an incriminating way to penalize a failure to report offenses of a certain gravity.
