In this study, the main indicators characterizing the level, structure and dynamics of crime in our region are considered, a correlation and regression analysis of criminogenic determinants of crime is carried out, as well as a correlation analysis of the relationship between structural indicators of crime and statistical results of law enforcement. The study revealed a lower elasticity of crime rates in the region in comparison with all-Russian indicators. The calculations of the coefficients of criminogenic infestation by age groups showed that the greatest criminal activity is observed in the group of 18-29-year-old residents of the region. The analysis of the structure of crime in the region revealed a tendency to increase the public danger of crime during the period under review.
