Criminal punishment as a subject of criminal law policy on economic crimes
The article states that the system of criminal penalties should be built taking into account the actual criminological situation in the country, the priority needs of criminal and legal protection of economic relations, the value orientation of the population. Criminal punishment is proposed to be considered as a socio-legal phenomenon reflecting the criminal legal reality. The functions of punishment are the imposition of punishment on the guilty, the prevention of the commission of new crimes, the correction of the guilty and the prevention of the commission of other crimes. Criminal punishment can be considered as criminal repression, as well as as revenge for the committed act. Punishment can be characterized as the activity of special subjects for the implementation (application of measures of criminal legal impact) of legal norms on responsibility for the committed crime. Criminal punishment can be indicated as one of the forms of implementation of retrospective and positive responsibility aimed at preventing economic acts by criminal legal means. Possible variants of the manifestation of criminal punishment allow us to characterize it as a complex system and determine its formation depending on the degree of public danger of the acts committed. The judgment is made that the higher the probability of solving a crime and the timely appointment of a fair punishment, the less crimes will be committed.
