Differentiation of regulations of administrative and criminal legislation in the judicial interpretation of illegal acts

This article attempts to establish the foundations of differentiation of the regulations of administrative and criminal legislation in the process of judicial interpretation of illegal acts. The similarity of regulations of the two law branches is determined by their enforcement nature. It leads to the competition of regulations, which makes their distinction and application problematic. The author believes that the wording of specific criteria describing one or another socially dangerous act and expressed through the features of objective or subjective sides of corpus delicti can be a possible resolution of the problem of regulations competition in the Criminal Code and the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation.
