Type: article
Abstract: The relevance of the research topic is due to the need to rethink the concept of acriminal law norm taking into account the provisions of the theory of law. It is important toconsider the criminal law norm not only as an element of science, the discipline of “criminallaw”, but also as a norm containing the characteristics of a legal norm on general understanding. Itis also important to note that the formation of a criminal law norm is influenced by such areas asmoral and ethical standards existing in society, religious prescriptions and prohibitions.Disidentification of the understanding of a criminal law norm and an article of the Criminal Codeof the Russian Federation can have a positive effect on both legislative activity and law enforcementpractice. On the one hand, this will allow the legislator to more accurately formulate the text ofthe Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which will more accurately meet public demandsand challenges of the time. On the other hand, it will be easier for the law enforcement officer toapply and interpret the article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which will lead toa fairer qualification of a specific act. The article also examines the issues of the system ofcriminal law norms, touches upon the issues of the legal nature of circumstances excluding thecriminality of an act, and their relationship with the concept of a crime. The wording of theconcept of a crime and the concept of a criminal law norm is formulated.
