The present Master degree thesis analyses grave injury to person’s health, which incurs criminal liability foreseen in Article 135 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania. In order to present a comprehensive study of the theme concerned, attention is also given to the analysis of the grave injury to person’s health by focusing on such elements as the conception health, the concept of injury to health, and the system of offences related with inflicting grave injury established in the currently effective Criminal Code. These elements, however, are not sufficient for the definition of a crime causing grave injury to person’s health, therefore attention is also given to the separate types of grave injury to person’s health and the tendencies in the regulation of this crime in the criminal legislation of the Republic of Lithuania in various historic periods of Lithuania. A particular attention of the study is given to the elements comprising grave injury to person’s health and the disclosure of the defining features of this offence. The work also includes a comparative analysis of the specifics of regulation of grievous bodily harm in the criminal legislation of such countries as Russia, Sweden, Latvia and France. |
