Legal impact on a person: essence and mechanism of implementation

The article considers the issues of legal impact on the personality and social life in the conditions of political and legal transitivity. The authors propose an approach based on the development and use of specific, reasonable and quantifiable indicators to assess the effectiveness of legal influence in practical legal activities.

Classification of the obtained results of legal impact on a person for various reasons is one of the elements of a differentiated and effective approach. The article also discusses the issue of distinguishing between desirable and undesirable results of legal influence on a person using reasonable criteria.

The authors emphasize the importance of translating abstract legal norms into concrete behavior of an individual for effective legal action. Social legal consciousness, expressing the social and legal nature of social life, is a key element in this process.

The article also discusses the mechanisms of legal influence on a person, including regulations, the executive branch, the judiciary, mass communications, etc. The authors emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to legal impact, which would take into account many factors, such as the socioeconomic context, political processes and cultural characteristics.

As a result, the article offers a comprehensive approach to the legal impact on the individual and social life, which includes the development of specific indicators, the classification of results and the distinction between desirable and undesirable results, and also takes into account the social and legal nature of social life and the mechanisms of legal influence.
