CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF STATISTICAL DATA ON THE NUMBER OF CONVICTS FOR LABOR CRIMES DURING THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR
Two groups of factors are analyzed, which should be taken into account when taking into account statistical data on punitive policy in the field of labor relations during the Great Patriotic War. Factors that artificially increased the number of convicts for labor crimes include the form of "double counting" of labor deserters and absenteeists (recidivism, reclassification of the case), the abolition of the sentence handed down by the court of first instance. Factors that artificially reduced statistics on convicts include a kind of "patronage" to violators of labor discipline by the management of enterprises and organizations, decriminalization of a number of labor crimes, amnesty.
