Understanding crime from the standpoint of morality, law and political expediency

Abstract

The article examines the understanding of crime from the standpoint of morality, law and political expediency. The author studies the influence of power and the political elite on the formation of public moral norms. In particular, the balance of justice in politics in the world and law, as well as the achievement of a balance of political and social in the criminalization of acts are examined. The conclusion is made that it is impossible to allow the maximum possible harm to personal interests only against the background of a threat to public safety.
