Legal nihilism

Legal nihilism

Legal nihilism (from Lat. Nihil - nothing, nothing) - the denial of law as a social institution, a system of rules of conduct that can successfully regulate the relationship of people. Such legal nihilism is the denial of laws, which can lead to illegal actions, anarchy and, in general, impede the development of the legal system of sometimes the country as a whole
Legal nihilism can be active or passive; domestic (related to ignorance of the law), philosophical (related to the construction of a person's worldview, in which the social role of law is denied).

Legal nihilism can be observed in people who actively interact with the law (the realization of their interests uses corruption and hierarchical structures (clannishness (territorial, financial, family), personal loyalty (despite professional qualities), political affiliation of the worldview, subjectivity in assessing events in branches of law).

Manifestations of legal nihilism.
Many legal theorists point to legal nihilism as one of the reasons for committing crimes, since it characterizes through low legal awareness a lack of respect for the law, and its predominant non-use in everyday life, when an individual or group is primarily guided in their actions by traditions, political, economic or other interests, but not law.

People who claim that legal nihilism is the main reason for committing crimes clearly consider value and moral principles to be the main reason for complying with laws. This directly contradicts the economics of crime and punishment, which excludes a moral and ethical component from a citizen’s decision to comply with or non-compliance with the law. Accordingly, legal nihilism will not be the cause of crimes if a person knows the laws, and these laws are designed in such a way that it is more profitable for this person to live according to the laws, rather than transgress them.

The reasons for legal nihilism.

The objectivist approach.
The main reason for legal nihilism is the knowledge of people that laws are not enforced. When a person finds out about an offense that has not been punished, his faith in the power of the law falls and can fall to such a level that he will not at all take the law into account in his actions.

The subjectivist approach.
An example of a subjective approach in the study of legal nihilism and legal culture is the concept of "geographical determinism", according to which the "vast spaces" of Russia cause a distortion of legal consciousness in Russia, which is elevated to the rank of tradition.

Overcoming legal nihilism is a very complex and lengthy process.

The main ways to overcome legal nihilism:

• raising the level of general and legal culture;

• prevention of offenses, primarily crime;

• improvement of legislation;

• mass legal education;

• legal education;

• strengthening the rule of law, law and order, state discipline;

• respectful attitude to the person, ensuring his rights and freedoms;

• training highly qualified lawyers; legal reform and more.

Thank!

Thank you Eugene))) A good topic ... And relevant ... Especially in the field of the implementation of the NPV ... Which, at least in Russia, everyone is not too lazy to do ... Without any legitimate reason, considering that it is possible to engage in such activities without a license, and without any experience in the "system", and no special (legal) education ... Hence the chaos .... (at least in our activity) They act according to the principle reflected in the statement of one of the heroes of the film "They fought for their homeland" - "Came, saw, HERITED" ....: lol:

Andrey Zakharov you understand, of course, a person develops all his life, especially a former law enforcement officer who cares why certain processes take place in the legal industry and generally there are no former law enforcement officers. I am sure that each of you is ready to fight for the improvement of legislation in the field of detective work and is ready to work with lawmaking entities, as well as to increase the prestige of honest detective agencies.

Andrey Valerievich good afternoon! Please tell me what do you mean by the term (SPECIAL LEGAL EDUCATION)?
Or for example: If this activity were not subject to licensing, then, having no experience, could you engage in NPV?
A license is just a piece of paper that gives you the right to engage in BH and DM, but no more. In all other respects, we have the same rights. Until 2010, I was a security guard who had the right to carry weapons and special equipment, i.e. in demand everywhere. But now I have to start my career in OD again. Re-receive the certificate of the 4th category, then the 5th and 6th. This is done in order to collect additional money from people. And for this, our Government of the Russian Federation decided that I had lost my skills in handling weapons and special equipment. Or for example: an ordinary citizen is allowed to use civilian weapons during self-defense i.e. gas sprays, aerosol sprays, electric shocks , and I, being on a shift in order to have the right to wear and use these funds, must have a license of a security guard of the 5th category. Here he is our legal nihilism. Why did I start this conversation, because I already
it’s unpleasant to hear these statements regarding the availability of a license and if people are against the forum, then I agree to leave the forum, but I will be engaged in activities because I am a lawyer and my education is legal, but not (specifically legal) and I like to do detective work.

WITH RESPECT !
