The purpose of this paper is to determine the state of modern scientific support for problems of criminal liability and pre-trial investigation of criminal offenses related to interference in the activities of representatives of State authorities. The set goal was realized thanks to the complex application of general scientific (analysis, synthesis and generalization), dialectical, comparative-legal, systemic-structural and prognostic methods. The problems of the scientific development of criminal responsibility and investigation of interference in the activities of representatives of state authorities are analyzed. Attention is focused on the issues of bringing a person to criminal responsibility for committing criminal offenses of this category, peculiarities of their criminal characteristics, development of methods for their prevention and scientifically based recommendations for their pre-trial investigation. It was established that the following terminological constructions are typical for the designation of illegal activities related to any interference in the activities of representatives of state authorities: “interference in activities” (less often: “interference in the exercise of powers”); “influence” (or “unlawful influence”); “obstructing activity”. Taking into account the approaches established in the legal literature, it is proposed to use the term “interference in activity”. It was found that, currently only the specifics of bringing a person to criminal responsibility for committing such offenses have been sufficiently developed and the issues of forensic characteristics and tactical and organizational principles of their pre-trial investigation do not meet the appropriate level, especially considering the current issues of law enforcement practice. Prospects for further research within the framework of the raised issues are outlined.
