Public opinion in law enforcement theory and practice

The problems of formation and manifestation of public opinion of citizens have not lost their relevance today. Public opinion has a number of distinctive differences, expressed in the fact that they affect more than one area of law. In addition to civil law and criminal law, public opinion affects such areas as: international law, constitutional law, and in terms of the state budget - financial law. The main problematic of the work is that legislation (namely the law-making process) and law enforcement make individuals in society feel both oppressed and protected at the same time. In some cases, public opinion opposes a decision taken by a public authority. That is, if a governmental structure prevents the implementation of any lawful action taken by a legislative act or an act of law enforcement, it is seen as a deprivation of opportunities, an obstacle.
