Abstract: The author notes that, due to the worsening of economic situation and the decline of living standards in Russia, the problem of struggle against organized crime becomes especially important. It is confirmed by the data of the Integrated intradepartmental information and statistical system, according to which the amount of preliminarily investigated crimes connected with drug trafficking committed by organized groups had been increasing from the early 2012 till June 2014. Within the struggle against organized crime (on the example of drug trafficking), the author studies the possibility of cooperation between law enforcement officers and the members of criminal groups on the base of the provisions of the article 40.1 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation “Special procedure of pretrial decision when concluding a pretrial agreement” as a tactical criminalistical element. The author applies general and special scientific methods, including deduction, analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical method, the statistical method, comparative-legal analysis and other methods of scientific cognition. In the author’s opinion, the application of the provisions of the article 40.1 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation as a tactical means of “encouragement of a person to cooperation by means of a pretrial agreement” can raise the efficiency of struggle against organized crime, particularly in the sphere of drug trafficking. It will also help solve new crimes and impose liability on persons involved in crimes.

Abstract: The article considers the peculiarities of the structure of the composition of stealage of especially valuable objects. These peculiarities are determined by the fact that this composition combines various forms of stealage and their compositions differ in the structure of an objective side. Difficulties of the legal structure determination have a negative impact on the establishment of a moment of the finishing of this crime and on the qualification of this crime. Applying general scientific methods of analysis and comparison, the author analyzes the legal structure of the composition of stealing of especially valuable objects and the moment of finishing of this crime. The author suggests to construct all forms of stealage according to the material composition and to change the structure of the composition of robbery. In this case, the composition of stealage of especially valuable objects will be considered material, and the crime will be considered finished since the moment of acquisition of property and the possibility for the guilty person to use the stolen objects.

Abstract: The paper presents the analysis of the modern condition of the criminal law in the light of the theory of criminalization and decriminalization. The author pays significant attention to the tendency of the criminal policy reflecting the processes of criminalization and decriminalization of deeds. The author notes that decriminalization can be carried out by means of exclusion of criminal punishability of a deed and its recognition as a non-socially dangerous or non-illegal, or its transmission to the category of an administrative, disciplinary or civil delict. The application of the historical, formal-logical, and the systems methods of cognition helped the author to analyze the criminal law in the light of the theory of criminalization and decriminalization. The penal law-making drawbacks and the side effects of criminalization can lead to undesirable consequences: the gaps in penal regulation, a redundant repressiveness, the lack of a necessary interpretation. The excessive criminalization undermines two principles of penal policy: the principle of economy of penal repression, due to the fact that criminal liability is imposed on an unreasonably large number of citizens, and the principle of unavoidability of punishment, due to the fact that often such a law is not used in practice.
