Trofimova G.A. The principles of legislative regulation of the criminal legal relations

Abstract: One of the problems of the legislative work of the Parliament is the reflection of the perception of legal order adhered to by the law abiding citizens of the country. In forming the criminal legislation, the Parliament relies on the main foundations and ideas that they consider dominant. As a result of the conducted research, the author discovered the following key foundations (principles) of the legislative regulation of the criminal legal relations: the principle of the dynamics of criminal legal elements; the principle of non-obligation (conditionality) of holding someone liable; the principle of reduction or limitation of liability; the principle of court discretion; the principle of monetary compensations for the damages caused by the crime; the principle of inequality in the damages caused by the crime and the punishment for it; the principle of priority of humane treatment of a person that has committed a crime; the principle of differentiation of criminal liability; the principle of relative equality of the citizens. The author also underlines the connection of the highlighted principles, their consequences for reflection of such classic legal principles as unavoidability of responsibility, justice, and equality of citizens before the law.
