Olga R. Afanasieva. The efficiency of administrative punishment for administrative offenses in the field of road traffic

UDK: 342.9


Olga R. Afanasieva - Doctor of Law, docent, professor of the department ‘Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Criminalistics’ of the Law Institute of the Russian University of Transport


Abstract. Road safety is one of the important government concerns, which was once again noted in the Strategy for road safety in the Russian Federation for 2018-2024. In this regard, in order to increase the efficiency of administrative punishment, since 2005, the government has been implementing measures aimed at tightening and adjusting the norms of law establishing administrative liability for committing administrative offenses in the field of road traffic. The author, having analyzed the changes in the dispositions and sanctions of the administrative legislation norms, identified the main trends in their change. As one of the trends of interest, there has been noted a set of changes in administrative legislation, implying increased administrative liability of individuals and legal entities for the most serious administrative offenses in the field of road traffic. Meanwhile, after analyzing the correlation between changes in administrative legislation and a number of factors characterizing the severity of the law, the author has concluded that there is a slight correlation between the value of administrative punishment and the level of offense. In continuation of the above assumption, the author has given a number of arguments confirming the low efficiency of the system of administrative punishments for committing offenses in the field of road traffic, and therefore, the tightening of liability. In the current paper, the author has negatively assessed the focus on the fiscal and financial functions of administrative punishment in the form of an administrative fine to the detriment of the educational and preventive functions of punishment. In the paper, the author has also provided the study results of the appointment and execution of an administrative fine for administrative offenses in the field of road traffic. There has been concluded that the modern approach, associated with toughening of administrative liability for the violations under consideration, seems, at first glance, to be justified, but the results of the study have raised the question of the expediency and low efficiency of an endless increase in penalties.

Sergey Al. Semenov. On the issue of protecting transport infrastructure and vehicles from security incidents

UDK: 342.951:351.82


Sergey Al. Semenov - head of the Federal Budgetary Institution “Marine Security Service”


Abstract. According to a number of researchers, the concept of “security incident” is not entirely successful and requires linguistic concretization, overcoming lexical incompleteness. For these purposes, part 1 of Art. 1 of the Federal Law “On Transport Security” should be stated as follows: “a security incident in transport is an unlawful interference in the activities of transport infrastructure facilities and vehicles, including a terrorist act that threatens the safe operation of the transport complex, resulting in damages to life and human health, material damage or creating a threat of such consequences”. An important issue that has a direct impact on the protection of transport infrastructure and vehicles is the lack of an exhaustive list of acts (actions) that are defined by the Federal Law “On Transport Security” as security incidents. The conducted analysis has shown that the state, through the legal institute of transport security, regulates public relations only in the part concerning security incidents, which, in the main, have signs of a terrorist act. Administrative and legal regulation of public relations related to the protection of transport infrastructure and vehicles from security incidents, the potential threat of which is not directly defined in accordance with paragraph 2 of part 2 of Art. 2 of the Federal Law “On Transport Security”, is limited by the prescription to the subjects of transport infrastructure and carriers contained in Part 1 of Art. 4 of the Federal Law “On Transport Security”, on imposing on them the enforcement of transport security of transport infrastructure facilities and vehicles. In order to conscientiously observe the prescription of the law, subjects of transport infrastructure and carriers have the right, by their local acts, to determine the list of security incidents that threaten the safety of a particular transport infrastructure object or vehicle, and independently take the necessary measures to organize the protection of transport infrastructure objects and vehicles from them.

UDK: 343.9


Oleg Al. Antonov - Candidate of Law, associate professor of the department ‘Criminal law, criminal procedure and criminalistics’ of the Law Institute of the Russian University of Transport


Abstract. The current paper has considered the main issues related to the criminal procedural regulation of such a pretext for initiating a criminal case as an acknowledgement of guilt. The author has analyzed the forms of personal appeal to law enforcement agencies and the procedure for guilt acknowledging. There has been expressed an opinion on the advisability of warning a person who has confessed on criminal liability for knowingly false reports. The author has proposed to draw up a protocol for accepting an application in all cases of acknowledgement of guilt, including those submitted in writing. The paper has also determined that the introduction of a provision on the mandatory presence of a lawyer when registering an acknowledgement of guilt is premature. There has been formulated a proposal to improve the norms of the law governing the procedure of an acknowledgement of guilt in the following way: there must be an audio or video recording when accepting and registering an acknowledgement of guilt in all cases.

Abstract. The introduction of new IT technologies in all spheres of activity has been recognized as a key factor in the development of the digital economy of the Russian Federation. In this regard, IT technologies are rightly recognized as an attribute of modern reality, and the sphere of transport infrastructure is no exception. Unfortunately, the introduction and use of new IT technologies in the transport sector is accompanied not only by positive effects, but also by negative, including criminal processes, as evidenced by the results of numerous Russian and foreign scientific studies. The presence of modern cyber threats in the field of transport security in Russia, requiring modern and comprehensive scientific understanding, predetermined the authors' interest in determining the quantitative and qualitative traits of cybercrime at transport infrastructure facilities and establishing the main tendencies in its development. According to the analysis of the provisions of individual criminological studies devoted to the issues of countering both cybercrime in general and committed at transport infrastructure facilities, the problems of enforcing transport security, as well as according to the study of the departmental statistical reporting of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for 2018-2020, the authors of the current paper have substantiated the relevance of the threat of cybercrimes for transport security. There have been given the main criminological indicators characterizing the state, dynamics and structure of cybercrime at transport facilities, the number of persons who committed them. There have been identified the main areas of transport that experiences negative criminal impact, and there have also been determined the tendencies in the development of cybercrime at transport infrastructure facilities. There has been made a conclusion about main reasons for the growth of cybercrime in transport, and the necessity for immediate comprehensive protection of the entire transport infrastructure from modern cyber threats.
