Characteristics of those who are sentenced to deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or to engage in certain activities
The author attempts in the article to distinguish the subjects of punishment in the form of deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions, deprivation of the right to engage in certain activities and deprivation of the right to engage in other activities. Based on 342 studied criminal cases, we have dealt with the courts of Ivanovo and Yaroslavl in 2009-2014 and have had a survey of 35 convicted persons serving a sentence in a penal colony of Ivanovo Region, a comparative analysis characterising those convicts, who were sentenced to deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in certain activities: socio-demographic characteristics (sex, age, education, marital status, occupation), the qualification of the offense, the amount of the penalty imposed. On the basis of the study, we have concluded that there was, in figure in this category, a difference from the average of convicts. In the end, the author suggested that the broader application in practice of the measures of state compulsion, especially as the main form of punishment, could be reasonable.
