Criminal law impact, penal measures, criminal liability and other measures of criminal-legal nature: problems of correlation of criminal law categories

The article considers the issue of correlation of the following criminal-law categories: criminal-law impact, penal measures, criminal liability, other measures of criminal and legal nature. Having investigated them using the method of lexical analysis, by formulating his own definition of measures of criminal-legal nature, defining their signs and system, the author comes to the reasonable conclusion that the criminal law impact is represented by many types, including penal law, implemented by means of measures of criminal-legal nature, enshrined in the criminal law, law enforcement acts, etc. Measures of a criminal law are expressed by criminal liability and other measures of a criminal-legal nature, the specific features of which are their non-punitive nature and the absence of interrelation with criminal liability (with the rare exception of cases of their simultaneous practical realization), which allows to distinguish them in the system by means of criminal-legal coercion.
