Criminal law is an individual branchlaw, which, by analogy with other branches of law, has its own method of regulating legal norms. The method as a set of legal means of influence on public relations, defined by the norms of the considered branch of law, is a very capacious and diverse concept in legal literature. It should be noted that the method also serves as the basis for an additional character for dividing the entire right to branches. The issue of the method of legal regulation is difficult and poorly studied in all legal science. As for the branch of law under consideration, according to the general rule of the practice of legal order, the method of legal regulation is focused on the application of penalties for violation of criminal law prohibitive norms. But this interpretation of the method of legal regulation seems to be the concept of a narrow profile, which is defined by the multitude of components included in the very content of the method.
To the components of the method of legal regulationbranches of criminal law of the Russian Federation include: the procedure for establishing rights and obligations, the definition of legal facts that are the beginning of legal relations, the relationship of the parties in the resulting legal relations, ways and means of ensuring subjective rights. The combination of these characteristics in the theory of legal studies allows us to define three methods of legal regulation. These include prohibition and prescription, as well as permission. The latter is expressed in the primacy of governing norms. The prescription serves as an administrative-legal type of regulation. The prohibition as a method of legal regulation of the industry criminal law is directly determined by the norms of criminal law. At the same time, it is taken into account that the considered branch of law is intended to define crimes and punishability of acts that are dangerous for an individual, for citizens in a state, and to determine models of socially dangerous behavior that is prohibited by the law of the country.
Note that all types of legal regulationbranches of criminal law can be found in other branches of law. Here it should be said that in each branch of law the decisive factor is the specific method of legal regulation that has been indicated above. That is, in one branch of law the prescription method is decisive, in another branch of law - permission, in the third branch - prohibitive method. Criminal law method of legal regulation is not limited to prohibitive norms. That would be wrong. By way of example, the criminal law norms on the necessary defense have an authoritative character, which makes it possible to assert that the method of permission as a method of legal regulation exists in the branch criminal law. These ways of legal regulation in each branch of law has characteristics that are additional to the main ones. They can be specific methods and specify methods for intersectoral purposes. Thus, the relations of the criminal law protective type are regulated by certain methods. Such methods include: the use of criminal punishment, the elimination of criminal responsibility and penalties, the use of medical measures to subjects who, in a state of insanity, committed crimes suffering from various mental disorders, to drug addicts. These measures are mandatory.
The study of the object and method of legalregulation of the industry criminal law formulates the conceptual apparatus of the industry in question. It should be noted that international criminal law does not differ in any way from this industry, however, it has characteristic features that are inherent only in this industry, which exists and operates in the international arena.
