Both in our country and in other countries, the number of crimes related to bodily harm, torture and bullying is increasing. In practice, crimes related to causing harm to health, in particular through torture, are often committed on the grounds of domestic violence. At the same time, during torture, the victim experiences not only physical torment, but also moral suffering. Therefore, after receiving injuries, the victim needs both qualified medical care and psychological help. Criminal liability for torture is fixed in Art. 117 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. However, this norm does not specify socially dangerous actions that form the concept of torture, which often leads to errors in qualification and difficulties in investigating crimes under this article. The situation is also complicated by the lack of explanations from the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on the issues of qualification of torture. As a result of the conducted research, the authors focus on introducing amendments to Art. 117 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in the context of the definition of physical suffering.
