Criminal Law: Crime and Punishment
Congress Centre, conference hall E10
The discussion will open a new stage in the interdisciplinary study of the fundamental problems of criminal law and statutes, including the moral, religious, philosophical, and historical foundations of criminal law, the social conditioning of modern criminal policy, and the development of criminal law and legislation. Today, there are a number of key problems, including the criminalization of new socially dangerous acts; the identification and elimination of unworkable provisions of criminal law; improving the effectiveness of punishment and the balance of the criminal law system; protecting the country’s economic interests, including the return of lost assets to state ownership; ensuring the protection of the public and the state against terrorist and extremist threats and organized crime; upholding historical truths; and protecting traditional spiritual and moral values. What are the most important aspects of modern scientific research that meet the current needs of practical activities? What are some of the specific features of comprehensive legal and methodological support to counter socially dangerous encroachments on the territory of new regions?
