Socio-Philosophical and Conceptual Theoretical Foundations of the Study of Russian Criminal Justice in the Context of Digital Transformation of Society and the State

The paper analyzes the strategy for improving the Russian criminal justice system in the context of the digital transformation of society and the state as a complex and multifactorial process determined by the interaction of law enforcement agencies with society, its structures and institutions, as well as with public administration structures at various levels. The paper focuses on the potential of social philosophy, philosophical anthropology, jurisprudence, sociology, political science and other branches of socio-humanitarian knowledge to form a conceptual foundation for the development of Russian criminal justice in the context of the digital transformation of society and the state as an interdisciplinary and multilevel theoretical system of fundamental importance in the consideration, explanation and prediction of processes and phenomena in this field. The paper separately considers various subsystems of society and spheres of social life from the point of view of changes in the sphere in which these subsystems perform the functions of adaptation, goal setting, integration and maintaining a pattern in the context of digital transformation of society and the state, and analyzes the changes caused by this transformation. Fundamental importance is attached to the topic of the intrusion of digital reality, its structures and institutions into the deepest layers of human existence and the possibility of protecting the individual from such intrusions by means of legal regulation of the «personality — culture» and «personality — society» systems. The paper provides a separate analysis of the socio-philosophical foundations and methodological guidelines for the study of the conceptual definition of the goals and means of Russian criminal justice in the context of the digital transformation of society and the state.
