description Background. The current version of the criminal law provides for liability for crimes committed in a state of passion in Articles 107 and 113 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Despite the small proportion of these acts in the structure of all crime, they are distinguished by increased public danger, since they encroach on the main values enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation – the life and health of the individual. As a result, the study of the mechanism of affected criminal behavior, as well as the influence of the negative behavior of the victim on the formation and development of its stages, seems relevant and practically significant. The purpose of the work is to assess the role of the victim in the mechanism of crimes committed in a state of passion. Materials and methods. The article used scientific works on the issues under study, materials of judicial practice and official statistics data. The methodological basis was the general dialectical method of cognition. In addition, the following methods were implemented: systemstructural, analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, statistical analysis, generalization of judicial practice and expert assessments. Results. The study found that the victim plays a significant role in the mechanism of affected criminal behavior and has a serious impact on the ontogenesis of all its stages. Conclusion. A conclusion is made about the need to conduct an analysis of the characteristics of the victim by the subjects of preventive activities in order to develop the most effective measures for the prevention of crimes committed in a state of passion.
