Abstract

The authors turn to the study of such a concept as "criminal policy", applying this term to the field of education. It is noted that criminal policy is a multifaceted phenomenon that should be considered from different points of view. Firstly, criminal policy is the proclaimed state policy (doctrine) of combating crime, which is reflected in the current regulatory legal acts of the state. Secondly, criminal policy is a scientific doctrine (theory), which is a set of legal, sociological, political, economic, ideological and other knowledge about countering criminally punishable acts. Thirdly, criminal policy is a special type of activity aimed at actively countering crime and other criminogenic antisocial manifestations. The authors identify the following levels of implementation of criminal policy in the fi eld of education: federal, regional and local. According to the researchers the criminal policy in the fi eld of education consists of several directions: the legislative direction, which improves the criminal and criminal-judicial legislation defi ning persons guilty of committing crimes in the fi eld of education, as well as determining the procedure for their punishment; the criminal-executive direction, which is associated with the execution of court convictions and the re-socialization of persons who have served their sentences; and the preventive direction, which is focused on taking measures to prevent crimes committed in the educational environment. In conclusion it is concluded that the criminal policy in the fi eld of education should be understood as the activity of the state aimed at maintaining the eff ective functioning of the institute of education by improving criminal, penal enforcement and criminal procedure legislation, clarifying the procedure for applying established norms and ensuring their high-quality and eff ective execution, carried out at the federal, regional and local levels by methods, means and in the forms of, correlated with the administrative and economic resources of the state and the infl uence on the internal policy of the state of the world community.
