The purpose of the present study is to consider the issues of scientific support arising in this area in the system of grounds and principles of criminalization, their connection with the criminal policy of the Russian Federation. Based on the study, the authors conclude that the main task is to develop a theory and method of ascending from criminalization reasons to the grounds of criminalization, expressing the social necessity of criminal law. It is on their basis that it is proposed to develop the principles of criminalization, i.e. scientifically grounded and consciously applied general rules for assessing the admissibility and appropriateness of a criminal law novel that establishes or modifies liability for a specific type of act.
