Kareeva-Popelkovskaya, K.A. Legal regulation of the act of application of suppressive measures in police activities.

Abstract: Implementation of executive competence and guaranteeing the public order can be achieved by certain means and methods of strategic infl uence on minds and behavior of people. Two mutually complementing methods: convincing and coercion are used to achieve this purpose at the current stage of social development. Their social purpose and effi ciency is due to the following. Firstly, these methods are determined by the general social and economic patterns of the society development. Secondly, they should be inalienable and interrelated. Thirdly, they depend on how adequately and correctly the refl ect the economic and political needs of the society and the current challenges. The methodological basis for the scientifi c article was formed by the current achievements of the theory of cognition. In the process of studies the author used general philosophical, theoretical and empiric methods (dialectics, systemic method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods ( formal logic method), and methods typical for specifi c sociological studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.). Application of law in some cases is related to public coercion, and this is a purely public sphere. The above-mentioned features are typical of both executive and administrative activities –as specifi c types of state activities. It is performed in various forms of which the most traditional ones according to the administrative legal literature are legal and non-legal ones. The non-legal forms of activity include material technical operations and organizational work. In the process of their implementations the legal administrative acts are not issued. Application of law is within the very core of executive-administrative activity, it is its main and defi ning manifestation. Practically speaking, it includes publication of the law-enforcement acts and administrative activities. At the same time implementation of legal acts of practical character by the bodies (offi cials) is a foremost important form of administration.
