About determinants of the concept "accounting and registration discipline" in activity of internal affair bodies of the Russian Federation

Accounting and registration of information about crimes are the initial stages of the emergence of a large number of legal relations in the field of law enforcement of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the internal affairs bodies). The content of this activity is many regulated by the timing, order and sequence of procedures related, including the recording at various stages of relevant information in special books, magazines and other forms of registration, accounting and reporting. The results of the activities of the internal affairs bodies testify to the problems that remain in this area, and various policy documents reflect instructions on the development and implementation of measures aimed at strengthening accounting and registration discipline. At the same time, there is still no normative definition of this concept, which prevents a uniform interpretation of events, phenomena and processes in this area, the identification of existing relationships between them and, ultimately, the solution of existing problems. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that determine the content of the concept of “accounting and registration discipline” in the activities of internal affairs bodies. Based on the study of normative legal acts, scientific papers on the theory of the issue under consideration, and law enforcement practice, an author's view of the determinants of this concept, as well as its definition, is proposed.
