Abstract

The authors of the article analyze administrative, criminal and criminal procedure legislation. The problems concerning the issues of implementing the legal responsibility for petty theft are identified and considered. The absence of a system approach of the legislator to the transfer of criminal offences into the category of administrative violations is stated. It is confirmed by the following facts: when determining the elements of offences, in particular in Article 7.27 of the code of Administrative offences of the Russian Federation, various approaches to determining the age of bringing to responsibility for committing an unlawful act provided by administrative, tort and criminal legislation were not taken into account; criminal liability for petty theft is provided only for the acts involving the theft of property worth more than one thousand rubles, but not more than two thousand five hundred rubles; the peculiarities of administrative proceedings that are different from criminal proceedings were not taken into account; when introducing the amendments concerning the petty theft to the code of Administrative offences of the Russian Federation, the general limitation period of three months for bringing to administrative responsibility in case of its commission is left unchanged. The proposals for improving the legal regulation in the field of implementing the administrative responsibility for petty theft are formulated by the authors.
