SOCIO-HISTORICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF CRIMINAL LAW

Abstract

The article examines the socio-historical foundations of the development of the science of criminal law. Since ancient times, actions condemned by members of society have been regulated on the basis of established customs in that community. During the period of primitive society, violators who violated internal order were expelled from the community. This was a severe punishment at that time, and those expelled from the community were doomed to die alone. Moreover, each clan community took measures against the offender based on the customs of its internal environment. The emergence of states, the creation of writing, and the establishment of power to protect public order led to a tightening of the concepts of crime and punishment. Among the sources that provide information about the history of states are issues of crime and punishment. A common feature of ancient and medieval criminal law was to keep society in fear through punishment. As a result of Russia's occupation of Central Asia, the European legal system penetrated the region. The suppression of Muslim rights, practiced for centuries, began. The 20th century plays an important role in the development of modern criminal law. Based on the Criminal, Criminal Executive and Criminal Procedure Codes of Uzbekistan dated September 22, 1994, a powerful legal system has been created in the criminal law system. The adoption of documents on criminal law opens the way for the development of scientific research in this area.
