Abstract
Amidst the societal transformations taking place across various domains, the crucial matter of safeguarding individuals’ lives, health, and integrity demands theoretical reconsideration. The objective of the research is to assess the efficacy of key legal measures in addressing criminal offences against the freedom, honour and dignity of a person. The study employed the comparative legal approach, formal legal analysis, legal modeling, and statistical methods. The research findings support the argument that combating crimes against individuals has currently assumed paramount importance. Violations of the person’s freedom, honor and dignity present a significant menace to society. Special emphasis should be placed on the accurate legal evaluation of such crimes, as it hinges on establishing the elements of the offense, as well as addressing other aspects related to crime detection, investigation, identification of perpetrators, and bringing them to criminal accountability. The research concludes by advocating the necessity of acquiring comprehensive and unbiased criminology data concerning both the offender and the victim, with the aim of implementing more efficient and targeted strategies to prevent such crimes. Subsequent scientific inquiries in this realm could delve into exploring optimal and efficacious legal responses to criminal offenses against freedom, honor and dignity of a person.
