Biopolitics begins to occupy more and more place in the modern understanding of the state about its possibilities in choosing the means necessary to exert the required influence on each individual and society as a whole. The limits of such possibilities, taking into account the knowledge accumulated by mankind in the past few decades, turned out to be truly unlimited, inevitably formulating the question of setting specific goals and objectives implied by the authorities. The function of control has always been inherent in the official power formation, and the problem of determining the limits of its implementation has also always been in the sphere of disagreements, forming various types of societies and states. Biopolitics is a phenomenon of a fundamentally new order, capable of bringing the discussion of this problem to a previously inaccessible level. The criminallegal component of the presented issue is still on the sidelines, continuing to persistently ignore the ongoing processes, and especially the transformation of social relations, the analogs of which in terms of its scale in history are not so many. However, it is criminal policy, through the introduction of biopolitical tools into circulation, that can have the greatest impact on the formation and implementation of the function of controlling individual human behavior and social relations in general. The function, which today is not typical for the criminal law sphere, is ultimately capable of acting as one of the main ones in the course of implementing this area of legal regulation.
