Some proposals for improving the legislation on administrative offences

We draw attention to the need of improving the current Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation in order to ensure the unity and systematic approach of legal regulation of administrative and tort liability, improving the procedure for consideration of cases of administrative offences. We propose to reduce the age of bringing to administrative responsibility for committing a number of administrative offenses, namely – to set the age limit for bringing a person to administrative responsibility upon reaching 14 years. We consider it appropriate to count the peculiarities of the age of the minor, namely, in the case of determining the age of bringing to administrative responsibility since the age of 14 years, should provide specific procedures for bringing to the responsibility of these individuals: establishment of responsibility only on certain categories of cases the cases against these persons by the court with mandatory participation of a lawyer and legal representative. It is offered to establish administrative responsibility for attempt on commission of an administrative offense and on complicity in its commission, and also to establish cases of obligatory participation of the defender in proceedings on administrative offenses and rendering free legal support.
