CRIMINALLY-LEGAL IMPACT AS A SOCIO-CULTURAL PHENOMENON

Abstract

The article is devoted to topical issues of criminally-legal impact, which is substantiated and considered as a sociocultural phenomenon. The purpose of this study is to form new scientific knowledge about the criminally-legal impact using the sociocultural approach as the methodological basis of the study and to identify the main directions for understanding and improving the measures of criminal legal impact at the present stage of society development. The methodological basis of the study is a socio-cultural approach to legal phenomena, using comparative historical, system analysis, axiological and other methods of scientific knowledge. The patterns of understanding of punishment in the socio-cultural context are revealed. The modern understanding of punishment as a form of realization of criminal responsibility is determined. The development of the restorative-compensatory potential of the criminal-legal impact is substantiated. The task of searching for a universal value basis for measures of state coercion in criminal law is formulated. Based on the socio-cultural approach, it is proposed to determine the prospects for the development of criminally-legal impact and criminal law.
