Criminological aspect of criminal bankruptcy

One of the types of crimes in the economic sphere is criminal bankruptcy, which is committed under the influence of mercenary-economic motivation within the framework of legal economic activity and contrary to Russian legislation, violating the economic interests of the state and pursuing financially illegal goals. Considering the criminological aspect of criminal bankruptcies the authors analyzed the level of crime in this sphere, and also revealed the main causes and conditions of committing crimes under Art. 195-197 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Analyzing the statistics from 2004 to 2021 in Russia in comparison with regional indicators (Kirov region, Udmurt Republic, Perm region, Sverdlovsk region) of crime, conclusions are drawn about the need to improve measures to prevent criminal bankruptcies. The ways to optimize the fight against criminal bankruptcies are proposed, taking into account the specifics of the measures, which in the financial and economic crisis situation will allow the debtor to improve its solvency and reduce the level of crimes under consideration. The system of measures of prevention of criminal bankruptcies including measures of general (measures of economic, socio-political and legal character) and special character (measures of criminal-legal, organizational and operative-search character) is presented.
