Law enforcement and control and supervision activities: issues of ratio

The article proposes options for the theoretical and legal relationship between control and supervisory and law enforcement activities. Based on the comparative analysis, the following approaches are identified: approaches related to their mutual absorption; approaches related to the positioning of the law enforcement component as a criterion for distinguishing between control and supervision in public administration; approaches based on the consideration of these types of activities as components of higher-level systems. The conclusion is made about the relevance of the approaches of the latter group in the context of reforming state control (supervision) and legislation on administrative responsibility. Consideration of the identified types of activity in the context of the regulatory cycle, the system of management functions or the public administration system as a whole allows us to take into account uniform principles and priorities in changing the regulation of the processes under consideration. The influence of the development of the rationale for the relationship of these types of activity on the development of basic categories and institutions of administrative law is substantiated, including: administrative process, administrative coercion, administrative procedures, administrative responsibility, subjects of administrative legal relations. Promising areas of research into the relationship between control and supervisory and law enforcement activities related to the development of the theory of competence, the theory of administrative process (administrative procedures), the theory of administrative responsibility, the theory of subjects of administrative and legal relations are identified.
