Abstract

The authors address the problem of criminal law policy in the field of ecology. In particular, the legislative problems of criminalization, penalization of environmental crimes are considered. It is noted that the degree of public danger of environmental crimes by the state and civil society is clearly underestimated. The norms of Chapter 26 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Environmental crimes" need to be improved, a significant part of them should be reanimated, and "dead" norms should be replaced with "working" ones. Some of the environmental crimes should be transferred to more severe categories. Differentiation and individualization of criminal responsibility for environmental crimes will be facilitated by the establishment in articles of Chapter 26 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of encouraging notes providing grounds for exemption from criminal liability for positive post-criminal behavior.
