Administrative Penalty System

Administrative penalty is a form of administrative coercion established by the state as a measure of responsibility for committing an administrative offense. At that, administrative and punitive sanctions were called punishments only with the adoption of the CAO RF. Thus, the legislator has emphasized exactly the punitive content and purpose of measures of administrative responsibility, their public-law nature and proximity by this criterion to the measures of criminal responsibility. The objectives of the legislation on administrative offences are: protection of the individual, protection of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, protection of public health and sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population, protection of public morals, protection of the environment, the established order of exercising state power, public order and public safety, property, protection of legitimate economic interests of individuals and legal entities, society and the state from administrative offences.
