Reliable statistic information of law-enforcement agencies as a problem of realization of criminal policy in Russia

In the context of formation of Russia as a rule-of-law state, the study of the problems of realization of criminal policy is very important. Crime can not be entirely liquidated in a rule-of-law state. Thus, the aims of realization of criminal policy should include its decrease, repression to the minimal possible level of safety of people. A definite state is the result of implementation of criminal policy, which is quantitatively reflected in criminal statistics. The data of criminalstatistics, in their turn, are taken into account when this criminal policy is formed. They should meet the requirements of fullness, veracity and timing of presentation. A rule-of-law state should know the real situation of crime in the country to conduct correct legal policy. This is difficult as long as criminal statistics is formed by law-enforcement authorities and serves to assess effectiveness of their activity. Unreliable statistic information leads to problems in formation and realization of criminal policy.
