Abstract

The author proposes a definition of the concept of lawmaking in the fight against crime as the activity of subjects of development, public discussion, examination, coordination and adoption of draft federal laws related to criminal, criminal procedural, operational investigative, penal, criminological (preventive) legislation.

Considers the background and problems of legislative and subordinate regulation of lawmaking in Russia, the reasons and conditions that contributed to the growing attention of the legislative, judicial and executive branches of government to the regulation of criminal lawmaking. Analyzes the draft federal law «On Amendments to Article 8 of the Federal Law “On the Enactment of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation”», prepared on the basis of the conclusions of the interdepartmental working group formed by the Ministry of Justice of Russia in March 2023 to prepare proposals for the draft concept of criminal legal policy Russian Federation.

Justifies the need to abandon the idea of consolidating special rules of criminal law legislation in the Introductory Law to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in favor of resuming work on the draft federal law “On normative legal acts in the Russian Federation” (Law on Laws).
