Abstract

The article analyzes existing models in counteraction to crime as one of the threats to national security. On the basis of the analysis of the legislation, a conclusion was made about the priority of the preventive approach in this sphere. At the same time, modern criminal policy demonstrates a qualitatively different method, oriented more towards the increasing repressiveness of the criminal law. One of the possible reasons for such a situation is the lack of criminological substantiation of legislative, political, economic, etc. transformations adopted today, which actualizes the criminological scientific research on the declared problems. In this regard, interdisciplinary and comparative criminological research, focusing primarily on preventive responses, is of the greatest importance in combating crime. This includes situational crime prevention, based on the achievements of rational choice theory integrated within the framework of environmental criminology, and crime prevention strategies based on environmental design (CPTED).
