The article discusses openness of the results of the law-making activities that local government performs. Currently in Russia there is an electronic platform that allows to get access to the whole system of municipal legal acts in a unified form. In turn, legal regulation in this field is quite ambiguous and is not featured with framework of categories and concepts. The "Municipal Legal Acts of the Krasnoyarsk Krai" electronic information system is offered as a possible solution to the problem. Its structure includes two user interfaces, one of which is intended for the access of the citizens of the municipal unit and other interested persons to the database of municipal legal acts. The second one is intended for municipal officers, which form this database. The functional features of the electronic information system and the logic of a database building allow users to observe the current edition of a municipal legal act, view the history of the changes made to it, as well as track the links arising between acts in the process of law-making activities of local governments. Unlike most analogues, this system allows to store and publish legal acts with individual content, as well as, if necessary, to ensure their confidentiality. The implementation of such a system in the practice of municipalities has anticorruption potential, which is expressed in increasing the legal awareness of the population of the municipality, enhancing public control over the activities of local governments, as well as providing independent anti-corruption expertise of municipal regulations and their projects.

Introduction: in its essence, criminal law regulation is a kind of social regulation, i. e. influence on society, social groups, individuals aimed at streamlining their activities. Purpose and objectives: to consider criminal law influence (measures, sanctions) and its institutions in the context of patterns and regularities of social management, to reveal contradictions and formulate propositions to resolve them. Methods: the methodological framework of the research is based on methods of formal and dialectical logic, sociological statistic, comparative jurisprudence, system approach, modeling. Results: in order to increase management effectiveness, criminal measures should be considered in the unity of law-making, law enforcement, and law implementation cycles. Thus, it is necessary to clarify the objectives of each cycle and link them into a single "tree of goals". Criminal law management is performed by means of two levers -limitation (via restrictions) and stimulation (via incentives). Its specific features are as follows: first, limiting measures are leading while positive -stimulating ones play a secondary role; second, implementation of both kinds of measures is legally regulated according to the permissive type. The application of criminal measures and change in their intensity is performed based on the formalized grounds for management, those being juridical facts in the form of criminal act or (and) criminal event. Criminal encroachment, crime and criminal offense must be considered the types of criminal acts. As for juridical facts for positive stimulation, in the paper, it is proposed to introduce a category "criminally significant merit" -an action or event being the ground for the release or mitigation of criminal r estrictive measures. Dispositions of articles of Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are interpreted as rules of special security, created by the legislator for special protection of constitutional values. The "periodic system" of legal consequences of violating security rules includes sanctions of punishment, security, restoration and incentive ones, which can be combined in parallel or in succession. Conclusions: the use of categories and principles of social management theory makes it possible to find and eliminate system faults in criminal law regulation, and thereby increase its efficiency.
