UDK 343.21 Уголовный закон в целом. Действие, толкование и применение уголовного закона
The article deals with the ways and means of countering the drug threat in the Russian Federation. It is noted that criminal law policy in the field of combating drug trafficking lacks stringency. The evidence of that is the large number of actual drug users in Russia, the inability of law enforcement agencies to effectively counter the distribution of synthetic drugs and different psychoactive substances. It is emphasized that the tightening of the criminal law policy in this area should be comprehensive and requires the tightening of a number of norms of the criminal law, strengthening control over television and the Internet, intensification of educational work in relevant institutions, improving the quality of organizational, personnel and operational work in law enforcement agencies.
