Juvenile justice and responsible parenthood: the ways of correlation

The study compares the theoretical, regulatory and practical foundations of juvenile justice with the responsible parenthood institution for the first time enshrined in the Law No. 737-V on Responsible Parenthood dated 14 March 2016 by the deputies of the State Assembly (Il Tumen) of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). This research is carried out by means of grant support. The relevance of the adopted law is proved by its novelty and its subject matter of legal regulation represented by the main complex of social relations, i.e. the issues of family and upbringing of minors. Negative attitudes towards the law are largely due to its association with the provisions of the so-called juvenile justice. The feasibility of its implementation in Russia is a point of contention. Against the background of the legislative activity of the Russian regions, many issues of their legal and law enforcement activities are insufficiently studied. The purpose of the research is to determine the coherent components of the provisions of the Law on Responsible Parenthood adopted in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) with the elements of juvenile justice. The conceptual construct is examined; the common and distinctive features of the studied categories are revealed. Besides, the authors review the social hypothesis about the negative, threatening value of the above-mentioned law for Russian society as an element of juvenile justice.
