Legal provision of national security of the Russian Federation in the light of modern criminal policy

The relevance of the investigated problem lies in the fact that the sovereignty of the state is currently confronted by a large number of external and internal threats. There is a lack of comprehensive theoretical research on problems related to the legal regulation of national security, the evolution of security types and other issues. Most states have adopted a set of regulatory legal acts regulating the sphere of regulation and ensuring national security, since this area is a priority for any state. The legal regulation of national security is a system of legal requirements that organize the activities of the state apparatus and civil society to ensure national security. The legal support of the national security of the Russian Federation has been assigned a leading role in modern state policy. Improving the normative legal regulation of the sphere of national security, we note the high level of dynamism of this legal phenomenon, therefore, it is systematically necessary to make changes and additions to a whole array of regulatory legal acts both in their substantive aspect and from the standpoint of legal technique. Within the framework of legal support for the national security of the Russian Federation, which is considered as a system of legal norms and principles that implement policies to protect citizens of the state, society and the country as a whole from influences that pose external and internal threats. Criminal law plays a leading role in a package of measures to ensure the national security of the Russian Federation. The priority areas for counteracting the leading contemporary threats to the national interests of the state with a range of criminal law remedies are such as improving the criminal law mechanism to counter acts of terrorism and extremism; criminal law measures to ensure the reduction and prevention of crimes in the economic sphere; coordination of the criminal law policy to ensure combating organized crime, corruption, etc. The modern concept and objectives of the Russian criminal policy involves identifying the main problematic aspects in the legal regulation of the national security of the Russian Federation, justification and formation of a mechanism where directions, forms, methods, coordination and control mechanisms, and leadership in the field will be developed.
