The relationship between crime and socio-political conditions in society: Russian experience

In the process of the evolutionary development of human society, crime, as a negative phenomenon, inseparably has accompanied it, increasing during unrest (revolutions, coups, etc.) and decreasing in calm and peaceful times. According to the results of the study, the author reveals that the main bursts of crime occur during periods of socio-political transformations in human society (deep reforms in the country, revolutions, periods of socio-political transformations, etc.); in the context of a natural tendency towards the humanization of the punishment system in human society; in conditions of deterioration in the socio-economic situation of the country's population, etc. The relevance of the study of the relationship between crime and socio-political conditions in Russian society is due to the growth of crime in the country in connection with the socio-political and economic transformation of Russian society and the need to identify the patterns of its change.
