Аннотация: Against the background of a global trend of expanding and enriching alternatives to imprisonment, Russia is pursuing a policy of introducing and increasing the use of non-custodial measures. Among such measures, a special place is taken by suspended sentence, which is not a type of punishment in Russia, but a form of criminal respoПоказать полностьюnsibility. According to statistics, about 30% of convicts are sentenced to suspended sentence. According to the records of the criminal enforcement inspections, 275 thousand probationers pass through the system every year. At the same time, every third probationer commits a crime again. This means that the goals of applying suspended sentence – correction of convicted persons and prevention of crimes – are not achieved. The commission of a new crime by a person who has already been subjected to criminal law measures for a previous crime indicates the ineffectiveness of these measures and makes it necessary to identify the causes of this situation. The purpose of this study is to determine the reasons for the low effectiveness of suspended sentence. To this end, based on an analysis of criminal record statistics in Russia for the period from 2013 to 2018 and a generalization of the results of selective sociological studies conducted by both the authors and other scholars in the same period, an assessment is made of the effectiveness of the current criminal law and the practice of appointing and implementing suspended sentence. Conclusions are made about the shortcomings in the field of legislative consolidation and application of suspended sentence.
