REVIEW OF "ON MORAL OF PUNISHMENT" BY ILHAM MAMMADHASAN OGLU RAHIMOV MONOGRAPH. - ST. PETERSBURG: PUBLISHING HOUSE "LAW CENTRE", 2016. - 224 P

The review considers the monograph "On moral of punishment" by I.M. Rahimov. In this paper the author analyzes in-depth the problems related to the moral foundations of the origin of punishment, the moral principles of punishment, conditions ensuring the moral principles of punishment. The issues of the relation of religion to the punishment are quite rare in modern studies. The appeal to this aspect is one of the advantages of the book. One of the main questions which the author tries to answer is whether to apply the penalty or to prefer giving exposure to non-punitive alternative measures? The author also considers the issues concerning the effectiveness of punishment and provides interesting arguments on fairness of punishment. One of the sections of the monograph is devoted to such a complex and controversial issue as the moral of capital punishment. Noteworthy is the fact that the monograph ends with "theoretical and practical recommendations to a legislator," which reflects not only the theoretical but also practical significance of this study. The monograph stands out from other rather numerous in recent years' research papers on the problems of punishment as it shows deep study of the problems, the analysis of all or at least most of the standpoints on a particular discussion question. The great merit of the author is that he was able to assemble a very extensive empirical and statistical data.
