Abstract
It is analyzed which individuals are subject to criminal sanctions for committing attacks by certain types of organized groups. Reasons are identified which explain why organized crime poses a significant threat to both individual members of society and the state as a whole. Signs have been identified that can distinguish banditry from robbery. It is determined that one of the essential characteristics of individuals’ group as a gang is stability, although this is not defined at the legislative level. It is unclear on the basis of what criteria the court should determine the presence or absence of this characteristic in specific cases of criminal offenses committed by multiple individuals. Therefore, it is concluded that it would be beneficial to establish a definition for stability or its characteristics in law. By implementing this measure, ambiguity in law enforcement’s understanding of this aspect would be eliminated.
