The article presents the results of an empirical research of the specifics of attempted to commit a crime as a socially conditioned phenomenon, which has its own specific characteristics, its own patterns of development, and mechanisms for influencing social conditions. It is proved that the responsibility for attempting to commit a crime is also socially conditioned and is connected with the achievement of the goal of punishment.

Thus, after analyzing, according to chosen system of principles the grounds for criminalizing an attempt to commit a crime, it seems possible to conclude that such criminalization is necessary and justified. First of all, this is due to the fact that an attempt to commit an offense is an act that infringes on the most important social relations, the value of which is recognized as National Law, in particular, the Constitution of Ukraine, and the norms of International Law. Secondly, although the level of insolvency of an attempt is lower than the finished crime, the presence of a fully formed subjective side (in the sense of direct intent and a certain purpose) indicates a high intensity and harmfulness of an attempt.

Key words: Attempt to commit a crime, criminal responsibility, criminalization, social conditioning, the goal of punishment
