Abstract

Lowering of the crime rate is objectively confirmed by the official statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and is due to a complex of criminological reasons, including the observed demographic decline, and a decrease in the crimes detection (latency increase), a decrease in the personnel of law enforcement bodies, primarily district inspectors, who are the primary link in the crime prevention system. At the same time, the decrease in the total number of crimes committed cannot indicate a favorable criminological situation. The research significance is due to the substantiation of the change in the punitive paradigm in crime fighting, the substantiation of the greater efficiency and, consequently, the preference for the use of punishments that are not involving isolation from society in combating crime. In particular, over the past relatively short period, the development of compulsory labor demonstrates high dynamics. In this regard, legal problems are identified, including those related to shortcomings in the punishment systematization, it is proposed to combine punishments involving labor. The research methodology is based on traditional methods of humanitarian research: dialectical, analysis and synthesis; comparative; technical; sociological; theoretical; modeling; forecasting. As the results of the research, the article presents a criminological and legal analysis of the currently observed phenomenon of lowering of crime rates and the number of convicts, especially to imprisonment. Its reasons are revealed, including interrelated (correlated) processes - the humanization of legislation, criminal policy and judicial practice.
