Abstract

The article investigates guilt forms in the foreign criminal legislation norms. Forms of guilt are considered on the example of such countries as England, the USA, France, Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Federal Republic of Germany, Japan, People’s Republic of China, Turkey and some other Arab states. The analysis results in revelation of analogous positions and differences in comparison with the Russian Criminal Law. Particularly, it is determined that in the Criminal Law of England there are three forms of guilt. Understanding of guilt forms in the Criminal Law of France is a little bit different than in the Russian criminal legislation. Comparative legal method of investigation of foreign and Russian criminal laws norms allows approaching the study of guilt concept taking into account that form and content are closely interconnected.
