Criminal law is a legal independentInstitute of Law, which is part of the legal system. From other branches of criminal law is excellent subject, that is, the field of social relations that govern the standards specified in the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation. Recently in legal science it is increasingly possible to hear the views of researchers in the field of law who say that criminal law does not have a subject of legal regulation inherent only in it, since the area of relations is regulated by sectoral legal norms, for example, administrative, state or civil. As for the considered branch of law and the basic principles of criminal law in the Russian Federation, the above-mentioned specialists give it only a protective function, stating that criminal law is a way of providing other branches.
Adhering to the classic understandingconsidered a branch of law as an individual unit, it should be noted that the industry has the principles of criminal law of the Russian Federation. So, in the general classification, the principles of criminal law include those fundamental principles on which, in fact, all those regulations that govern this area of public relations are built. The functions and fundamental principles of criminal law have a specific content that has a certain classification of a very ambiguous sense.
Принципы уголовного права в РФ подразделяются на common, which are inherent in the entire system of law and, as a result, of the branch of law under consideration and on the principles of criminal law of a sectoral purpose. The fundamental principles of a specific criminal law reveal the peculiarities of legal regulation of this branch of law. Again, by analogy with the subject of legal regulation, there is an opinion expressed in the fact that there is no need to single out sectoral principles, since the general principles operate through sectoral principles. Thus, industry principles are not visible through the prism of the general. However, the principles of criminal law are legally established in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. These include the principle of legality, the definition of equality of all individuals in society before the law, the guilt of a citizen, the principle of humanism and the principle of justice. The significance of each of these fundamental principles is also articulated in a rather clear manner in the Criminal Code. The main functions of criminal law, on the principles of which the entire industry is based, can be attributed to preventive and protective. Criminal legislation in general has a definite purpose, which is clearly defined in the law - it is the protection of the rights and freedoms of the individual in society, also the protection of the private property of a citizen and the protection of public order. In addition, the protection of the constitutional order of our country, the environment and those important social institutions, without which the state simply cannot exist as a system of state authorities and administration. These functional tasks and principles of criminal law are directly enshrined in the law, but the means for solving these problems are the determination of the grounds and principles of responsibility that arises in the field of criminal law, in addition, the definition of the range of crimes. In addition, to the means of solving the tasks called upon, it is necessary to add the establishment of types of punishment and other penalties of a criminal law nature. As for the precautionary task of the considered branch of law, it is solved by means of psychological influence on the minds of a citizen who does not violate the rights of other persons, he is law-abiding. In addition, there is an impact on the consciousness of those individuals in society who allow different types of abnormal behavior.
