Abstract

In the article on the basis of complex system analysis with the use of formal-legal, comparative-legal and factorial methods, the administrative-legal protection of public morality is considered. The peculiarity of the methodology of this study is explained by the multifaceted nature of the category of “public morality” and the existing need to study it, considering the approaches and developments of other legal sciences. Insufficient efficiency of public authorities in protecting public morals can lead to a decrease in the level of spiritual well-being of society. The aim of the article is to analyse the administrative and legal regulation in the field of protection of public morality. It is pointed out that public morality is a historically determined state of social relations that have formed as a result of conscious human activity. Public morality is correlated with public order and public safety as part and whole, where public morality is a component. Legislation on determining the purpose and functions of administrative and legal norms aimed at protecting public morals is considered. In the process of research the structural-functional analysis of the mechanism of interaction of law and morality is carried out, its elements as interacting parts of the system (legal norms, morality) are identified, functional connections and relations between them are established and theoretically substantiated. Subjective and objective factors that determine the measures of administrative and legal protection are considered. It is proposed to single out public morality as an independent object of administrative and legal protection. Protection of public morality is considered as an activity aimed at ensuring the conditions of moral well-being of society and the individual. The concept of the mechanism of administrative and legal protection of public morality and its content is formulated. Administrative and legal protection of public morality ensures the neutralisation of threats in the field of research.
