THE ISSUE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SPECIAL (BRANCH) PRINCIPLES OF CRIMINAL LAW

Abstract

It was found that the principles of criminal law are the key, fundamental, starting principles, ideas that underlie the functioning of the relevant branch of law. It is noted that the principles form not only the ideological basis of criminal law, they also directly depend on the directions of development of this branch of law, as well as the functioning of legal relations, the regulation and ordering of which is aimed at the action of the norms of the studied branch of law. It is emphasized the importance of taking into account in further research the relationship between the dynamics of principles depending on the processes taking place in society and their balance and coherence. This means that even the smallest changes in society should be reflected in the restructuring of the essence of principles based on them.
