Innovation Defects of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation

Abstract

Since the entry into force the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is subject to constant changes which are associated with both decriminalization and criminalization of acts. This process is due to the obligation of the State to protect lawabiding citizens from criminal offences and, thereby, implement the articles of the Constitution, taking into account the realities of criminology. Replenishment of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, with new articles requires a systematic approach of the legislator. Analysis of some new norms allows us to conclude that they initially contain defects that would adversely affect the formation of a single vector judicial practice.
