The encouragement method assumes freedom of behavior of the subjects 
of law, on which it has a stimulating effect. For the desired type of behavior it is 
established an incentive (award, benefit, remuneration, etc.). This kind of effect is 
intended to guide the active behavior of subjects to achieve a certain goal. 
Encouragement should represent to a subject of law the coveted award in 
the moral or material form. The choice of a particular award is cultural and historical 
features, and changes significantly due to the development of social relations. 
The predominance of financial incentives is a sign of our times. Combination of 
moral and material incentives is effective. Reducing liability or its removal may 
also serve as encouragement. So, art. 76.1 of the Criminal Code of RF stipulates 
that in a number of corpus delicti, the offender is released from criminal liability if 
it has compensated the damage caused to an individual, organization or a state 
in the result of the commission of a crime, and transferred to the federal budget 
monetary compensation in the amount of five times the amount of the damage 
caused, or contributed to the federal budget income received as a result of a 
crime, and the monetary compensation in the amount of five times the amount of 
income received as a result of a crime. 
Norms has great social importance that act as stimulus of in excess of 
activity over a long period of time – 20, 30 and more years. Subject of law performs 
a number of proactive actions, knowing about the possible future reward. Such 
rules require responsible behavior from a lawmaker, since it does not have to 
change the conditions for the duration of the action for those who comply with 
conditions imposed. So awarding for a long-term activity with the Order will be 
impossible if the legislator cancels it. But it will be a punishment for those who 
consciously strive to achieve established targets for the awards. 
«Honoring a hero» gives the maximum result. Lack of rewards deprives 
the act of heroism and, in fact, negates all actions of the active lawful subject.
