PECULIARITIES OF THE PENAL POLICY IN THE MODERN SOCIETY

Abstract

The article defines some current trends in the development of the penal policy at the present stage that are directly related to the criminal situation in institutions that enforce penal sanctions and to controversies in a number of legal and regulatory acts. The following factors are highlighted as having a negative impact on the current state of the penalpolicy: weak and insufficiently developed normative framework for the implementation of international instruments; contradictions between the provisions of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation; lack of a specific mechanism for implementation of a number of legal and regulatory acts relating to the scope of criminal sanctions enforcement.
