Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the most typical forms of post-offence behavior in attempted murders, as well as their dependence on other factors. To conduct the study, 200 guilty verdicts were analyzed. This study establishes a relationship between motives, the offender-victim relationship, and post-offence behavior in cases of attempted murder. Based on the analysis, it was found that attempted murders were more often accompanied by positive post-offence behavior than committed murders. The influence of factors such as motive, relationship between the offender and the victim, and circumstances under which the murder was not committed were studied. Positive post-offence behavior largely results from the decision to refrain from further illegal actions and from motives for expressive crimes (such as quarrels and jealousy). Hooligan attempted murders usually lead to negative post-offence behavior. The presence of family or intimate ties does not contribute to activities that neutralize harm or assist the investigation. The author concluded that the legislation should reflect the mitigation of sentence in the case of pronounced forms of positive post-offence behavior, since this creates an additional incentive for the offender to leave the victim alive. In addition, the obtained results can be used in practical activities when investigating attempted murders, as well as in the application of measures to treat a person serving a sentence.
