Some issues of improving the rule and order in the light of the problem of implementing the initial norms (on the example of the norms of penal law)
The subject of research is social relations in the field of improving the law and order.
The purpose of the study is to provide a general theoretical analysis of the characteristics
of the implementation of initial norms for the development of proposals for improving the
law and order.
In legal science there is an ambivalent attitude towards the initial norms: on the one
hand they are recognized as fundamental for the organization of the system of legal
regulation. On the other hand the forms of implementing the initial norms are practically
not studied. Applied value for the improvement of legal regulation and the state of the rule
of law is minimal.
The lack of scientific knowledge in the field of the implementation of the initial norms
indicates the incompleteness of the particular theory of right-realization. The study
of this problem will make it possible to intensify the efforts of scientists in the scientific
understanding of the system of legal regulation, the effectiveness of law and order.
The implementation of the initial norms is two-level in nature: the primary form of
implementation are the norms – behavior rules and their complexes (institutions and
industries), secondary (subsequent) – is legal practice which allows to comprehensively
assess the legal and social results of legal regulation.
Low social efficiency the contradiction between the legal and social results of legal
regulation indicate that legal practice is not a form of implementation, but a violation
of initial norms. Lawful practice acquires socially destructive features, which makes it
necessary to improve the law and order by amending legislation.
The findings of the study can be used in studying the problem of the effectiveness of
legal regulation, the development of measures to improve the criminal and penal policy.
Keywords: realization of law; reference standards; law and order; legal regulation; social effectiveness of law
