Abstract: The subject of the article includes the grounds of administrative responsibility; it describes the peculiarities of an administrative offense and its features. On this base the author concludes that the concept of an administrative offense, as enshrined in the Code of Administrative Offenses, should be supplemented with the characteristic of a public danger. Administrative offenses in the sphere of public events are heterogeneous. This is due to the fact that as an administrative offense can be recognized only the behavior which is prohibited by administrative law. The article notes that the essential characteristic of an administrative offense is a public danger. The methodology of the research is based on the modern achievements in epistemology. The study uses the general philosophical, theoretical methods (dialectics, systematic method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), the traditional legal methods and the techniques used in empirical sociological research. The article concludes that if public danger is a quality typical for certain deeds objectively, their illegality is established by a legislator in regulation prohibiting the commission of such deeds. Social danger of the act does not mean it mandatory illegality, as a legislator, unfortunately, is not always quick to respond to the existence of socially dangerous acts imposing a ban on them.

The article notes that earlier the Labor Code of the Russian Federation had established the duration of work for more than one employer for no longer than 16 hours per week.

A legislator assumes that on the days off at the main place of employment the employee may work at a second place full time.

Abstract: The subject of the reseacrh is criminal mortality as a form of negative socially dangerous consequences of modern criminality in the Republic of Tatarstan. The aim of the study is to identify the key indicators of criminal deaths of victims in the Republic of Tatarstan, characterizing its dynamics and structure. As a result of the study of criminal mortality in the Republic of Tatarstan the author comes to the following conclusions. Firstly, the decrease in the criminal activity rate and in criminal victimization in the Republic of Tatarstan has not had a significant effect on the state of criminal deaths of victims of crime, which continues to grow, increasing the level of social danger of criminality in this region. Secondly, in the structure of criminal mortality can be noticed a negative trend - its constant growth. While the growth rates of criminal deaths from crimes against life and health of the population is much higher than the growth rate of criminal deaths from crimes against traffic safety and operation of transport. Thirdly, taking into account the negative trends associated with the rapid growth of criminal mortality in the Republic of Tatarstan, in the short term (within the next 5 years) we should expect a significant growth of quantitative and qualitative indicators of criminality in this region of the Russian Federation.The methodology of the study is based on dialectical materialism. As the main methods of cognition of criminal mortality in the Republic of Tatarstan the author uses the statistical methods: summary, grouping and statistical and structural analysis used by domestic experts in the study of criminal phenomena and processes. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that on the base of official statistical data and using his own indicators (the rate of criminal mortality caused by crimes and the rate of criminal mortality among the victims of crimes) the author for the first time in Russian forensic science reveals the tendencies of criminal mortality as a consequence of one of the species the consequences of crime, using the developed by the author of indicators.
