BALANCE OF DISCIPLINARY PENALTIES AND INCENTIVES IN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS SYSTEM: PRACTICAL PROBLEMS AND PROPOSALS

Abstract

This article analyzes the practice of applying disciplinary sanctions in the internal affairs system and reveals the problem of lacking clear criteria for assessing misconduct and subjectivity in decision-making. The author emphasizes the existence of legal gaps in the process of imposing and early termination of disciplinary sanctions and substantiates the need to develop a unified approach and legal mechanisms in this area. In particular, practical proposals have been put forward to improve the national system by establishing the legal basis for revoking punishments based on incentives, defining specific criteria for the severity of violations of official discipline, and taking into account international experience. The recommendations given in the article aim to ensure legality, justice, and transparency in the activities of internal affairs bodies.
