The influence of legal responsibility on illegal behavior

The essence and relationship and interdependence of legal responsibility and legal behavior are considered, in particular, the infl uence of legal responsibility on illegal behavior. The preventive function of legal responsibility is analyzed, in particular the methods of its implementation. It is emphasized that one of the main directions of the legal impact of legal responsibility on socia l relations and the consciousness of the off ender is its punitive function. The purpose of punishment is not to torture the person who committed the crime, but to prevent the perpetrator from causing harm to society, to prevent other persons from committing the crime (crime prevention). In order to achieve the goal of punishment, it is necessary to form a high level of legal awareness among legal subjects. The eff ectiveness of legal responsibility is manifested not in its cruelty, severity of punishment, but in its inevitability. The main goal of positive responsibility is to create an orderly state of social relations, and the goal of preventing off enses is achieved primarily in the process of regulation with the help of duties, prohibitions, permits and incentives. The purpose of negative liability is to prevent the commission of off enses both by the existing off ender and by other potential off enders in the future. Legal responsibility is recognized as the most eff ective and important means of preventing illegal behavior. In order to prevent illegal behavior, make the off ender suff er adverse consequences for his actions and realize their harmfulness, infl uence his legal awareness, all punishments should have not only a punitive, but also a deterrent and educational eff ect.

Key words: legal responsibility, illegal behavior, off ense, legal relations, coercion, duty, state, law.
