Abstract: Theoretical and empirical data indicate that along with the philosophy and sociology of law, it is necessary to acknowledge the value and applicability of toolset of the political science of law. It is substantiated that determination of the scientific status of political science of law as an element of general theoretical science of law or an independent science at the initial stage of “testing” its methodological perspectives is not an end in itself. Based on the analysis of sociopolitical practice, national and foreign conceptual ideas, as well as provisions of the effective legislation of the Russian Federation and specifics of its application, the author concludes on the infiltration of politics into the structure of state-legal reality on a deeper level. For increasing the accuracy of the acquired results, the author employs dialectical approach and main logical methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction, extrapolation, etc.), as well as referred to the basic general theoretical principles of jurisprudence, considering the peculiarities of political science knowledge. The author also expresses his opinion on the need for further research in the area of application of political science of law, as well as the prospects and desirable results of its implementation in legal research.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the problem of understanding and content of exercising positive legal responsibility in the context of prevention of unlawful acts and stimulation of law-abiding behavior. The author aims to determine the role and functional purpose of law enforcement policy (within the framework of national security), its key trends and vectors, as well as the factors and conditions for implementation of legal responsibility for unlawful behavior and concomitant risks of its excessive application. Legal responsibility is viewed in accordance of its manifestations on the level of objective and subjective law, as well as systemic legal institution that incorporates normative, procedural and organizational subsystems. As a result of the conducted research, the author substantiates the need for prevention of offenses at the stage of emergence of social conflicts. Analysis is conducted on the positive experience of crime prevention in certain Asian countries and the factors of ineffective crime control policies in Russia and other countries. An original perspective on legal responsibility in legal right and law is presented. The author explicates the conceptual ideas of the preventive effect of responsibility at different stages of its materialization with regards to actual and potential offenders. The article takes into account peculiarities of the methods and means of external and internal influence of legal responsibility upon the behavior and consciousness of the subjects of law; outlines merits and flaws of the policy of preventing legal violations from the standpoints of its official objectives and tools; describes the structure of the system of legal responsibility and the advantage of its implementation in preventive activity of the law enforcement agencies and penal system of the Russian Federation.

Abstract: The object of the research is a complex interaction between the regulatory construction of legal responsibility, the system of law and legislation system expressed in coordination, subordination and genetic relations. The subject of the research includes specific features of the relationship between legal responsibility and other legal phenomena at the substantial, structural and systemic levels. The main emphasis is made on the analysis of legal norms and regulations of legal responsibility, its branch and sub-branch systems. The author presents a variety of interpretations of legal responsibility as a regulatory phenomenon. Aiming at the needs of legal science and practice and being based on doctrinal, regulatory and law enforcement sources, the author suggests to extend the scope of application of the systems approach to legal research based on the example of analysis of legal responsibility as an element of the system of law and legislation system. To ensure the validity of research data, besides general research methods the author has also used special research methods (sociological and historical) and private research methods (formal legal, structural legal and comparative legal). The author describes the contents of functional (coordination and subordination) and genetic relations between inter-branch institution of legal responsibility from the point of view of different kinds and classification of legal responsibility. Based on overall theoretical characteristics of legal collisions and different kinds of regulatory relationships, the author shares his own position on inter-branch and intra-branch collisions arising between legal responsibility provisions and elements of the system of law and legislation system. The author also offers his own method of discovering legal contradictions and responding to them as the grounds for further development of a universal mechanism of solving collisions that arise in the process of law making and law enforcement activities. 

Abstract: The subject of this research is the peculiarities of development, organization, and functioning of the constitutional legal protection system in South Korea, considering the historical trends and modern political legal situation in the country. The author examines the most important aspects of the official constitutional law doctrine of the Republic of Korea, as well as discusses the specificities of legal policy for crime prevention in South Korea. The efficiency of the constitutional legal protection is assessed from the perspective of development of the legal regulation alongside the work of the essential constituents of the constitutional control (President, Constitutional Court, and others). The scientific novelty of this work consists in the substantive characteristic of one of the elements of South Korean constitutionalism – the constitutional legal protection.  A conclusion is made about the high level of state legal development of the Republic of Korea and its specificity, as well as classic approach towards formulation of the structure and content of the Constitution and objective-subjective characteristic of the constitutional legal protection.
