The relevance of the article lies in the presence of problematic issues related to the socio-legal assessment of the existence of legal prohibitions in law, which are rarely applied in practice. The author analyzes the reasons for the presence of “dead norms” in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The negative results of criminalization that lead to the emergence of “dead norms” in criminal law are considered. The content of objective factors that lead to the existence of “dead norms” is revealed. Due to the complexity and ambiguity of determining the reasons for the existence of “dead norms”, special attention is paid to measures to improve their enforcement effectiveness.
