- Abstract:
- The chapter discusses the main goals of punishment in the Russian Federation, their significance and correlation with the principles of criminal law, as well as their role in shaping probation policy and further socialization. The article examines the changing goals of criminal punishment in the process of the formation of the Russian state: starting with the first written sources of Ancient Russia, ending with the period of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, with an analysis of the distinctive features and reasons for the adoption of these goals.
Purpose: to conduct a historical analysis of the goals of criminal punishment, to identify the tasks they solve, to substantiate the goals in the context of the external environment, to identify common features and situations, as well as to substantiate the current goals of criminal punishment. To focus on a simplified understanding of the purpose in the form of retribution and punishment and their relationship with the aim of correcting the offender and positive consequences for the state and society.
Methods: a systematic approach, historical and logical methods, analysis and synthesis, deduction, induction are used.
Results: it is noted that for modern purposes of criminal punishment, retribution is practically not mentioned and is losing importance, giving way to the correction of the offender and his re-socialization. Correction and re-socialization are considered as key goals that contribute to reducing the rate of crime. If there is a real correction, the historical purpose of retribution loses its relevance and does not violate the principles of criminal law.
Conclusions: over time, the concept of crime has softened, which has led to a change in the main objectives of punishment. Currently, after the adoption of the Probation Law, the focus is shifting from retribution to the correction of the convict and his re-socialization. The question of the relationship between retribution and the restoration of social justice remains the subject of scientific debate. One of the goals of probation and re-socialization is to reduce the level of recurrence of crimes. The effective use of this mechanism, combined with compliance with the principles of criminal law, contributes to the seduction of the individual without an emphasis on revenge against the criminal.
