Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is criminal policy in contemporary Russia, which questions democratic achievements in the field of criminal justice. Traditionally controversial issues of the scope and content of criminal policy, the determination of the strategy and tactics of criminal policy are analysed. The incorrectness of the terminological distinction between criminal policy and criminal-law policy is noted. Emphasis is laid on the fact that criminal policy is always lawful as it is based on law. A proposal is put forward to correct criminal policy not through legislation but through the law enforcement form of its implementation. In the context of instability and imperfection of legislation, a special mission is assigned to the judiciary.
