I think you can get away from the literal "is expressed by," without losing the sense.

In other words, put the full sentence something like this:

"The general condemnation of this practice is reflected in the existence of laws against plagiarism."

Omit "general," if you like. You could write "abhorrence" instead of "condemnation," too.

And "anti-plagiarism laws" would be another option for the end part.

neutral gutbuster : denunciation rather than condemnation, the latter being too strong in this case. countenance is the opposite

Thanks for commenting. "Denunciation", however, is not too compatible w the verbal action of "выражается". It's associated w specific statements, while I think "condemnation" & "abhorrence" better express a centuries-old attitude captured in laws.

agree The Misha : I love it when cmntrs have strong opinions,but it's equally important that such opinions be supported by facts & the opinion holder's sufficient knowledge of such facts. Otherwise, opinions expressed tell more about the holder than the issue in question.

Thanks, Misha. Still, some good can come from most criticisms and suggestions, because sometimes they can force one to think though why one hears a given choice as not quite working, while another one might work. Insight into the language can be gained.
