Annotation: This article is devoted to defining the characteristics of the category “public order”, reflecting its substantive potential. Defining “public order” is a complex cognitive process, driven by the polysemantic nature and het- erogeneity of the subject, requiring a comprehensive study of this legal phenomenon. Doctrinal provisions on public order in legal science demonstrate the ambiguity and contextuality of this cat- egory, as well as the lack of a unified approach to understanding it. This necessitates further critical reflection on its legal validity and the author’s proposed definition of “public order”. Modern jurisprudence is inconceivable without seeking ways to modernize current legislation and regulatory processes that meet real-time demands and promote the effective development of the state and society. Furthermore, the relevance of this study is driven by the rise in crimes against public order and public safety, their increased harmfulness, which is largely determined by the unstable geopolitical state of individual states and the global community as a whole. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.
