Abstract
The article makes an attempt to show the role of legal science in the life of Russian society using the example of criminal law science. For this purpose, the state in which criminal law science finds itself is considered. It has been established that legal science is represented by two unequal groups of people: some actually engage in scientific research, others imitate scientific activity. At the same time, publications that are imitative in nature are subject to fair criticism and are considered as a manifestation of a crisis in science. Despite the existence of negative factors, the scientific community directly or indirectly has a positive impact on the life of Russian society. In particular, criminal law science determines the ways of development of criminal legislation that performs protective and regulatory functions, thereby harmonizing conflict relations. The scientific community of law universities and faculties, being part of Russian society, not only produces and reproduces scientific knowledge, but also involves students, graduate students and doctoral students in its development in various forms. A significant role in the development and implementation of scientific knowledge into public practice is played by scientific and qualifying works in criminal law disciplines, including those not free from certain shortcomings. This study shows that the works of criminologists are also of interest among previously convicted persons and repeat offenders. In conclusion, it is concluded that the organization of legal science is far from perfect and requires significant reorganization in order to meet the expectations of society.
