Abstract

The purpose of the stated study is to monitor changes made to the text of the Russian criminal law and identify the main trends in criminal policy for the period April 2022 – September 2023 and assess its prospects. The article provides an assessment of the legislative innovations that appeared in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation during the SVO period, from the standpoint of their expediency and the quality of legal technology. There are a number of significant trends in criminal law: expansion of the limits of criminal liability for a large number of attacks, differentiation of responsibility. The study used systems and structural approaches; formal-legal, sociological, formal-logical. As a conclusion, it is noted that modern trends in criminal policy, on the one hand, reflect the timeliness of the legislator’s response to changes in socio-economic conditions in the state, and on the other, do not meet the criteria of consistency and suffer from low quality legal technology.
