Administrative Law Means of Ensuring Public Safety in the Area of Trafficking in Arms

Currently, the number of crimes committed with the use of arms is increasing. This necessitates strict control over its trafficking and revision of the system of prevention and counteraction to administrative offenses as predictors of serious and high-profile crimes. Purpose: to analyze the means and forms of administrative law prevention in the area of trafficking in arms. Methods: theoretical methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, formal and dialectical logic; specific scientific methods: legal-dogmatic and interpretation of legal norms. Results: the study reveals the need to review the current mechanism of administrative regulation of trafficking in arms in terms of strengthening responsibility for committing offenses in this field. It is necessary not only to thoroughly investigate the causes and conditions contributing to their commission, but also to analyze the personality of the offender, the persons living with him or her who are likely to have unhindered access to arms, and to predict the possibility of committing a more serious offence with the use of arms.
