Abstract
The purpose of the article is to study the current state and development prospects of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were defined: analysis of the initial version of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, assessment of the changes made to it, study of practice and judicial statistics on the application of articles of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, analysis of theories and ideas proposed in the domestic doctrine. The author used general scientific methods (dialectical method, logical, system analysis) and special (technical-legal, comparative-legal).
Results of the study: The special part of the domestic criminal law has undergone significant changes over 25 years. The article provides examples of conceptual transformation: the introduction of articles where an accomplice is turned into a perpetrator of a crime; return to administrative prejudice; recognition of the state of intoxication as a circumstance that changes the degree of social danger of a crime. Attention is drawn to the deterioration of legislative technique on the example of some dispositions and sanctions of articles. It is shown that "dead" articles are often created. Despite the introduction of changes in them, they do not "come to life" and are not applied in practice. This increases the volume of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, affects the system of criminal law, and does not have any impact on either law enforcement or the effectiveness of criminal law.
Conclusion: A special part of the modern domestic criminal law requires deep processing. There is a need to develop and approve the conceptual foundations for building the Special Part of the domestic criminal law. The conceptual foundations can help streamline the introduction of amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, maintain the concept of the criminal law, and eliminate systemic errors and contradictions within the law.
