THEORETICAL AND LEGAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LAW-MAKING ACTIVITIES OF THE FEDERAL PENITENTIARY SERVICE OF RUSSIA: FEATURES, TYPES OF LEGAL ACTS AND STAGES OF THE LAW-MAKING PROCESS
In the scientific literature, a characteristic of the law-making of the Federal Penitentiary Service is not often given. The article discusses the features of the law-making activity of the penitentiary department of Russia, lists the stages of the law-making process, characterizes and classifies the legal acts of the Federal Penitentiary Ser-vice.The author reveals the features of normative legal acts and individual legal acts issued by the Federal Penitentiary Service. The article questions the thesis that only the director is the subject of rule-making in the department. After analyzing the content of legal acts, and comparing them with local legal acts of employers, which are called normative by virtue of the law, the author comes to the conclusion that the heads of territorial bodies and institutions executing criminal penalties are also subjects of lawmaking. The paper considers the types of orders issued in the department. The author comes to the conclusion that in departmental sources there is no clear distinction between an order and an order, which makes it somewhat difficult for a law enforcement officer to choose a specific type of act in a particular situation. The author also comes to the conclusion that, in their form, the legal acts of the Federal Penitentiary Service should be divided into orders and instructions. Decrees, rules, instructions are types of legal acts in terms of content. The educational literature does not often address the issue of the stages of the law-making process, and therefore, students at the universities of the Federal Penitentiary Service are actually deprived of information about the features of the law-making process at the departmental level. In the article, the author gives a description of each stage of the departmental law-making process.
