Abstract

Environmental security is poorly known and promising direction of criminal law protection, and the subject of study criminal law theory. We analyze the circumstances that characterize the objective and subjective criminalized in Chapter 26 of the Criminal Code offenses recorded in the legislative process. These are the circumstances that reflect in concentrated form the social danger of the act in question and indicate the need for a restraining criminal law. Attention is given to the grounds and reasons for the introduction of criminal prohibitions, ensuring environmental safety and protection of the natural environment. It is determined that the effectiveness of warning, regulatory and enforcement functions of the law in the environmental safety may be provided by balanced combination of forced sanctions of criminal law and means of dispositive legal regime.
Problematic issues of specifying the limits of a restraining impact of criminal law on obligated subjects of public relations are the following: establishment of public danger, essential for criminalization of acts encroaching on ecological safety and the environment; delimitation in the enforcement of environmental crimes by other environmental offenses, for example, environmental offenses, punishable by an administrative order; the resolution of complex issues of qualification of environmental crimes and other crimes against public security, crimes against the interests of the service. It is necessary to accurately install all the features of socially dangerous acts and relate them to kriminalizatsionnymi criteria (signs), enshrined in the criminal law, which in practice is difficult blanket reference nature and disposition of environmental injunction, the complexity of estimating the size of the harm and damage caused.
