It is proved that the statistical indicators of the revealed and solved crimes of officials do not fully reflect the actual number of committed socially dangerous acts of a corruption nature. In addition the authors critically evaluate the methods used by the anti-crime policy and believe that moral education of representatives of Russian society and the cult of the law-abiding person can be the real means of combating crime among officials.

Criminal legislation of any state provided at the initial stages of its development for punishment as the only measure of criminal law influence on a person committing a socially dangerous act. Moreover, the types of punishment mainly boiled down to long periods of isolation of the convicted person from society: hard labor and imprisonment. Only in the middle of the twentieth century Russian legislation ensured the distinction between the categories of “criminal punishment” and “criminal liability”, although the official definition has not yet been formulated. The main legally significant signs of criminal punishment as measures of state coercion and other measures implemented within the framework of criminal liability coincide, and therefore it is not possible to ensure a consistent legal differentiation of these categories. In addition, “other measures” of a criminal law nature are highlighted in the Russian criminal legislation, their essence is currently uncertain, since they apply to persons incapable of criminal responsibility (insane, some groups of minors), and persons convicted of a crime. Such terminological inconsistency creates problems in practical application of provisions of the criminal and penal legislation to ensure the correction of convicted person and the prevention of new crimes. Basing on the results of the study, it was proposed to divide the groups of measures that are implemented within the framework of criminal liability institutions and other measures of a criminal law nature. The former apply to persons convicted of a crime. “Other measures” are applied to persons incapable of criminal responsibility for a committed socially dangerous act due to a state of health or social and intellectual immaturity: irresponsible, mentally retarded, minors. This will provide the proper terminological distinction of the essence of legal categories and will allow identifying true goals of their application.

This research is devoted to the legal analysis of the content of the norms of the Russian Criminal Law on liability for committing an act of international terrorism. Adding Article 361 to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation was due to the officially declared need to strengthen the fight against terrorist activities, including acts of terrorism, the preparation and commission of which is carried out by representatives of international terrorist organizations. The analysis of the content of the disposition of Art. 361 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Сетевой научно-практический журнал частного и публичного права 37 Federation made it possible to identify a number of significant violations of the norms of legislative technique, made in the description of certain legally significant features. This creates objective difficulties for the interpretation of the provisions of Art. 361 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in the process of qualifying a crime, and gives rise to unjustified competition with Art. 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which establishes liability for a terrorist act. Based on the results of the study, a scientifically substantiated conclusion is drawn that it is inexpedient to include the norm that establishes liability for an act of international terrorism in the Special Part of the Russian Criminal Law.
