Abstract

The article deals with the modern scientific approaches of understanding of the scope of such concepts as «struggle against criminality policy», «criminal policy», «criminal law policy». Ukrainian and foreign scientists’ positions of the concepts and correlation between these types of the interior policy of a state have been considered. The concept of the policy of the struggle against criminality as the general line of the interior policy of Ukraine has been formulated. The author underlined, that the struggle against criminality policy determines the main lines, goals and the methods of the influence on crime by forming the criminal law, criminal procedure and penal legislation, regulating the practice of their application, developing and realizing the measures of crime prevention. However, the criminal law policy has been understood by the author as the core element of the state policy in the sphere of the struggle against criminality, which devices strategy and tactics of the criminal law influence on criminality and formulates its tasks, principles, lines and goals. The criminal law policy determines the methods of the achievement of the above-mentioned aspects that are depicting in the criminal legislation norms, practice of their application, their official interpretation in the acts of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, in the decisions of the Plenum of the High Specialized Court of Ukraine for Civil and Criminal Cases on problems of the application of the Criminal Code’s norms by Ukrainian courts, in the judgments of the Supreme Court of Ukraine on the questions of the irregular application of the norms of substantive law. On the basis of the analysis of the theoretical notions of «science», «branch of science», «the legal science» the author studied the place of the struggle against criminality policy and the criminal law policy in the system of sciences and made the next conclusions: 1. The struggle against criminality policy is a multisectoral (legal and political) science that studies state requirements in the sphere of the struggle against criminality and develops proposals of formation of the legislative mechanisms of its realization. 2. The criminal law policy is a branch of the criminal law science, which studies the state requirements in the sphere of the most important public relations, benefits and interests of the individual by the way of the criminal law influence with the methods of criminalization and decriminalization (penalization and depenalization) etc. 3. Today the basic approaches of the understanding of the score of the struggle against criminality policy have been developed in Ukraine. The conditions for development of its doctrine and the legislative implementation of the concept have been created. 4. The development of the doctrine of the theory of the criminal law policy provides an opportunity to adopt on the legislative level the concept of the criminal law policy of Ukraine on the average perspective (e. g. for 10 years).
