Институт множественности как легальное средство борьбы с профессиональной преступностью в дореволюционной России

Abstract

The article is devoted to certain issues of the evolution of the institution of plurality in the domestic legislation of pre-revolutionary Russia. The purpose of this study is to determine the features of the genesis of plurality forms in the Russian pre-revolutionary criminal law as a legal means of combating the activities of professional criminals. To achieve this goal, the methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparative legal and formal legal methods were used in the work. It is established that the concepts of repetition and repetition, as forms of multiplicity of crimes, are fixed in the Russian criminal law in connection with the organization of the fight against emerging professional crime. It is determined that as professional criminal activity develops, the concept of special recidivism is also formulated in the legislation, indicating counteraction to homogeneous and identical criminal acts. In addition, in the process of analyzing the normative legal acts of pre-revolutionary Russia in the field of criminal law, it was revealed that the use of the plurality forms established in the law was mainly related to crimes of a mercenary or mercenary-violent orientation, which also indicates the purposeful struggle of the domestic legislator against the fishing of professional criminals who profit from committing illegal acts. As a result, it is concluded that the consolidation of different variants of plurality in criminal legislation is nothing more than an attempt by legal legal measures to restrain the growth of criminal professionalism in the criminal environment in pre–revolutionary Russia.
