Santashov A. L., Mukhtarova E. A., Tantsyura V. S. Legislative technique and its significance for lawmaking in the field of the branches of the criminal. Penitenciarnaya nauka = Penitentiary Science. 2020; 14(3):353–361. (In Russ.). DOI 10.46741/2686-9764-2020-14-3-353-361.
The subject of research in this article are theoretical and applied issues of
legal technology in criminal and penal law. The purpose of the work is to give an objective
assessment of the use of the possibilities of legislative technology in the relevant branches
of law of the criminal cycle.
The study analyzes scientific ideas about the concept of legal technology, its types and
constituent components. According to the authors the legislative technique is an integral
part of the legal technique, which is a set of tools, techniques and rules developed by
science and practice which are used by public authorities when carrying out, within their competence, lawmaking activities to develop and formalize the text of a law as well as
other regulatory prescription.
The article notes that it is the differentiated execution of punishment that is a prerequisite
for individualization, justice of punishment and, consequently, its effectiveness. The
authors consider it expedient to study these problems from the standpoint of the technical
and legal design of legislation, since as it develops, the foundations, types and means of
differentiation and individualization of responsibility have changed and improved. It is no
coincidence that the legislative and technical improvement of the Criminal Code of the
Russian Federation and the Penal Code of the Russian Federation is recognized today
as one of the general directions of the development of Russian legislation on the criminal
cycle and criminal policy in the first decades of this century
Keywords: legal technique; methods and rules of legislative technique; technical and legal construction of legislative norms; lawmaking; differentiation; unification
