The article describes the phenomenon of singularity in criminal law, as well as its impact on the effectiveness of criminal sanctions. It is noted that the crisis of criminal law policy has led to the emergence of extremely dangerous trends. One of these is the singularity of criminal law. The article defi nes this as a modern phenomenon in criminal law that refl ects its crisis. It is pointed out that the term «singularity», which is widely used in physics, philosophy, and mathematics, can be used in criminal law to generalise the boundaries beyond which it seems poorly possible or impossible to describe phenomena in terms of current representation and understanding. Attention is drawn to the position of scientists who point to the absorption of positive criminal law by the anti-law within the framework of the singularity state. Emphasis is placed on leveling traditional criminal law institutions such as sanctions, punishment, and their preventive, protective, and punitive effects. The infl uence of the singularity on the effectiveness of criminal sanctions is shown. It is emphasised that globalisation in social networks generates a new phenomenon of parallel criminal law impact.
