The article analyzes the controversial issues of the relationship between criminal liability and security measures in the criminal law of Armenia (according to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – other measures of a criminal-legal nature).The author comes to the conclusion that these institutions of criminal law differ significantly from each other in their nature and objectives. It is stated that both legal and medical purposes should be fixed in the law as the goals of such measures. The author comes to the conclusion that security measures are not a form of criminal responsibility; such measures should be considered as alternatives to punishment that are not punitive in nature. Legislative amendments and additions are proposed, in particular, the need to consolidate in the Criminal Code such principles of security measures as fairness, effectiveness and proportionality.
