Criminal penalties for minors

The relevance of writing this course work, and the scientific research conducted within it, is as follows - with the adoption of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in 1996, the categorical apparatus of Russian criminal law has been updated with a number of qualitatively new, not previously encountered concepts and categories. Among such major innovations is a definition known as «other measures of a criminal law nature». At the moment, the legislator has not defined the concept, and signs of such measures. In the legal literature there is a large number of works devoted to this topic, but different researchers understand this term differently. With the adoption of the Federal Law of July 27, 2006 №153-FZ, section 6 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation acquired the title «Other criminal law measures», however, in the theory of criminal law, the question of a complete list of other measures still remains open, and the Section Chapter 15.1 «Confiscation of property» causes great controversy, both on the part of theorists and practical workers. The current legislative tendency to expand the measures replacing, supplementing punishment, as well as alternatives to it, and the rejection of the fight against crime exclusively repressive measures should be recognized as very significant because it significantly expands the possibilities of criminal law to counter crime.
