ON THE INTERPRETATION OF THE CONCEPT AND PRINCIPLES OF ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE REFORM OF ADMINISTRATIVE-TORT LEGISLATION

The article reveals and explores the main approaches to understanding the category of «administrative re-sponsibility». The authors explore and study the achievements of modern administrative-legal doctrine, as well as the achievements of Soviet-era administrative scientists who are making their first attempts to justify the interpretation of the category of «administrative responsibility». The current administrative and tort legislation does not contain and does not disclose the concept of «ad-ministrative responsibility», which causes a lot of controversy and discussion both in the scientific community and among legal practitioners. The paper analyzes statistical data and the dynamics of the administrative-tort situation in the Russian Federation as a whole, on the basis of which it is concluded that there is a need for high-quality legislative regulation of all key aspects related to administrative responsibility. The authors pay special attention to the Draft of the new Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation, which contains a legislative definition of administrative responsibility and signs of administrative responsibility. In addition, the paper examines and analyzes the basic principles of administrative responsibility, which should be enshrined in administrative-tort legislation. On the basis of the analysis, taking into account the scientific diversity of the existing positions of admin-istrative scientists regarding the interpretation of the category «administrative responsibility», the authors propose their own concept of the category»administrative responsibility».
