Introduction: the article is devoted to the analysis of the current state of criminal policy on countering certain acts of economic orientation, as well as issues of its optimization. The problems of domestic criminal law are analyzed. The paper considers certain areas of criminal policy in relation to the planning and implementation of measures aimed at combating crime by improving criminal legislation and the practice of its application, as well as the proper application of criminal law. Materials and Methods: the normative basis of the study is formed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, criminal and criminal procedure legislation, local regulations. The methodological basis of the research was the general dialectical method of scientific cognition, which has a universal character, as well as methods of logical deduction, induction, cognitive methods and techniques of observation, comparison, analysis, generalization and description. The Results of the Study: allowed us to note that criminal policy in the field of economic orientation is carried out by criminalization and decriminalization, penalization and depenalization and is primarily aimed at giving a more liberal character, which significantly affects the intensity of penalization and, conversely, the predominance of depenalization. Findings and Conclusions: based on the research, the author comes to the conclusion that the most appropriate way to achieve the necessary result, which, as is known, is to reduce the crime rate, is to change the criminal policy in this area.
