Imprisonment for a certain term was imposed for kidnapping depending on the presence or absence of aggravating circumstances in the following ratio: Part 1 of Art..126 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - 35.9%; h. 2 tablespoons. 126 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - 76.4%; h. 3 tbsp. 126 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - 87.5%.

Thus, 55% of those found guilty of committing crimes under Art. 126, 127 of the Criminal Code, were sentenced to imprisonment for a fixed term. According to Art.1271, 1272 of the Criminal Code to imprisonment for a certain period subject to the condemnation of 76.5%.

Thus the optimization of the criminal law protection of individual liberty implies the improvement of punishment and other measures of criminal law, the implementation of the functions and purposes of criminal law on convicts resocialization and social adaptation. Ensuring freedom of the individual in the Russian Federation by means of criminal law requires the use of new approaches to enforcement activities implemented in the context of crime prevention and stimulation of post-positive behavior.
