The rule of law in Russian society is its legal basis, the basis for the functioning of state power. A solid rule of law based on the principles of law is a guarantee of the functioning of civil society. In this regard, the maintenance and strengthening of law and order, as well as the fight against crime, represent a special type of social management. Its purpose is to ensure that the entire society as a whole, as well as its constituent social groups and individuals, function and develop within the framework of existing social relations on the basis of certain norms of morality and law accepted in this society. The solution of this problem assumes the presence of specific management methods. In this article, the author examines the specifics of the application of legal measures to protect public morality and public order in the administrative activities of the police.
