Concept and types of crisis situations in institutions of the penitentiary system

Abstract

This article is the result of a comprehensive study of the crisis situation, its concepts and types in relation to the penal system. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the institutions of the penal enforcement system actively use a large amount of diverse conceptual apparatus associated with the introduction of a regime of special conditions in the event of natural, man-made or criminal situations, which significantly complicates the possibility of assessing the onset of negative consequences from their occurrence and the need to attract additional forces and funds of federal executive authorities. The purpose of the publication is to define the concept of crisis situations in relation to the penal system based on the analysis of the conceptual apparatus used in penitentiary institutions for the prevention and overcoming of crisis situations. The article uses such general scientific research methods as generalization, analysis and synthesis, concretization. As a result of the analysis of the legislative framework and the opinions of scientists, the main types of crisis situations of a criminal, natural or man-made nature have been identified. The author believes that the legislative consolidation of the concept of a crisis situation will improve the legislative framework and regulate issues of interaction between the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia and other federal executive authorities in these situations.
