The system of government of great Britain

In October 2001 Voronezh College of the Russian Ministry of Justice was founded. In 2007 it was reorganized into an institute to train correctional treatment specialists and employees for security units of incarceration.

It is situated in the regional centre of Voronezh, about 500 km south to Moscow. The Institute has international contacts with research, academic institutions, law enforcement agencies and penitentiary service bodies in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Israel. The Institute carries out the project of mutual integrated activity on the alternative sanctions measures with the European Union.

According to the training curriculum the Institute cadets have special training courses such as range practice, tactics, drill training. They have all possibilities to prove their physical skills in gymnasia and they train to shoot in the shooting gallery.

All cadets are privets of the internal service and wear service uniforms. First and second year cadets live in the barrack which is next door to the institute building. The daily routine is very strict. It begins with reveille at 6 p.m. and ends with taps at 10 p.m. In between they have lectures, seminars, classes. As a rule they have three periods. After the third period they have dinner in the mass. Then cadets have some time for self preparation.

Every Institute graduate gets a diploma and a special rank of a lieutenant of the internal service.

Besides there is a special faculty in the Voronezh Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Ministry of Justice. Law training here is aimed on the graduating civil lawyers. The students study the principles of academic law rather than legal principles of penitentiary and correctional service practicing. Skills of interpretation and logical reasoning are developed. The students read law for five years. According to preference a student may develop his or her interest in a particular law area. A special law faculty graduate gets a diploma of a lawyer and may serve for any sphere of Russian legal system (prosecution, advocating, judging, law enforcement and penitentiary activity).

In theory, the British constitution has three branches: Parliament, which makes laws, the government, which 'executes' laws, and the law courts, which interpret laws. Although the Queen is officially head of all three branches, she has little direct power.

Parliament has two parts: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Members of the House of Commons are elected by the voters of 650 constituencies. They are known as MPs, or Members of Parliament. The Prime Minister, or leader of the Government, is also an MP, usually the leader of the political party with a majority in the House of Commons.

The Prime Minister is advised by a Cabinet of about twenty other ministers. The Cabinet includes the ministers in charge of major government departments or ministries. Departments and ministries are run by civil servants, who are permanent officials.

Members of the House of Lords (peers) are not elected. About 70 per cent of them are «hereditary peers» because their fathers were peers before them. The other 30 per cent are «life peers», whose titles are not passed on to their children.

The Lords of Appeal (Law Lords) serve the House of Lords as the ultimate court of appeal. This appeal court consists of some nine Law Lords who hold senior judicial office. They are presided over by the Lord Chancellor and they form a quorum of three to five when they hear appeal cases.
