ABSTRACT. The article is devoted to highlighting the current problems of defining the content (elements) of justice as an object of criminological protection. It was emphasized that in the modern conditions of martial law, the issue of countering threats to life, threats or violence against a judge in connection with the administration of justice is extremely acute. An analysis of legislation, as well as reference and scientific literature on the definition of the term «justice» was carried out.

The absence of a unified approach to the definition of the content of justice as an object of criminological protection was established, and the expediency of separating its elements based on the two-faceted definition of the concept of «justice» through its substantive and functional (formal) features, proposed in science and recognized by law enforcement practice, analysis of provisions was substantiated. of Chapter VIII «Justice» of the Constitution of Ukraine, Chapter XVIII «Criminal offenses against justice» of the current Criminal Code of Ukraine, as well as innovations in the criminal law protection of justice proposed in the draft Criminal Code. It is justified to include the following proposals as elements of justice as an object of criminological protection: professional activity of persons who administer justice (judges and jurors (participating in its administration) and their close relatives), as well as other persons who contribute to its administration (employees of the prosecutor’s office, operative units, investigator, inquirer, detective, defense attorney, representative of a person, a forensic expert, as well as their close relatives) and persons who ensure the functioning of the court and its security (employees of the Court Security Service, employees of the court apparatus, members of the High Council of Justice, the High Qualification Commission of Judges, as well as employees of the State Judicial Administration and the National School of Judges of Ukraine and their close relatives), as well as other participants in the judicial process from criminogenic influence.

Key words: justice, protection of justice, criminological protection, object of criminological protection.
