The authors of this material sought to outline their vision of the theory of criminal law sanction, its main protective purpose and punitive essence, to correlate two concepts “punishment” and “sanction”. Attention is drawn to the importance of sanctions in the processes of implementation of criminal responsibility, in the political and legal phenomena of criminalization and decriminalization, penalization and depenalization. In the process of imposing a specific punishment, the sanction, being a measure of state coercion, serves as the basis for a judicial change in the format of sanctions and punitive application to penal enforcement activities of a control and testing nature, and in relation to juvenile convicts to special procedures of educational and educational influence. The concept and main features of a sanction and its goals are formulated.
